Caresse Crosby: From Black Sun to Roccasinibalda

Caresse Crosby is probably one of the least recognizable of all the names remembered from literary and artistic circles on 1920s Paris, yet her life touched the most promising and gifted artists of a generation. Idealist, poet, friend, love, and muse to figures such as Hemingway, Henry Miller, Anais Nin, and Dali - Caresse Crosby deserves to be remembered. Anne Conover has unearthed a gem with her account of this free-spirited and flamboyant woman."Conover has rediscovered a woman ahead of her time, influential to writers and artists...She was a woman who enduredoften spectacularly."
