In Paris, it was a crime against nature--a mortal sin.\" With this cheeky response to her new city, Henri Adams--recently released from the tyranny of Prohibition and freshly appointed as an art correspondent for En Vogue magazine--sets out to discover the literary, artistic, and more unmentionable pleasures of Paris during the Roaring Twenties. Welcomed with open arms by Gertrude Stein (and somewhat more soberly by Alice B. Toklas), Henri hobnobs with expatriate luminaries--Natalie Barney, Picasso, Colette, Romaine Brooks, Ernest Hemingway, Djuna Barnes--and unleashes her Yankee curiosity, only to find herself entangled in an avant-garde art theft ring and the shackles of Paris' sapphic underground. Gay Paris more than lives up to its name in this prequel to Vandenburg's most recent novel, Craze, a Jazz Age portrait of queer New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMargaret Vandenburg is a novelist, playwright, and essayist whose books include \u003ci\u003eCraze\u003c\/i\u003e, a Jazz Age portrait of queer New York (shortlisted for the 2024 Sarton Award); \u003ci\u003eAn American in Paris\u003c\/i\u003e, a romp through the sapphic salons of Gertrude Stein and Natalie Barney; \u003ci\u003eThe Home Front\u003c\/i\u003e, the story of a family facing autism; and \u003ci\u003eWeapons of Mass Destruction\u003c\/i\u003e, an Iraq War requiem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 223\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.67 x 8.01 x 5.52 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 11, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50375458521325,"sku":"9781573441070","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/8918\/9441\/files\/ubhGxRq5T9781573441070.webp?v=1785564327","url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/en-gb\/products\/an-american-in-paris-paperback","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
