Naked at the Feast: The Biography of Josephine Baker

Josephine Baker was the very essence of of Paris in the riotous twenties. Hemingway danced cheek to cheek with her, proclaiming her to be the most sensational woman anyone had ever seen; Picasso painted her; Colette sent her fan letters; her name was linked with Mussolini, de Gaulle, Peron, Castro, Tito and the Pasha of Marrakesh. In this intimate spell-binding biography, Lynn Haney uncovers the story of this remarkable and outrageous woman and the extraordinary figures in her circle. This is the story of a truly remarkable woman in an already remarkable era.
