wits end said Five Stars. brilliant. Jerome R. Dodson said A nice time capsule.. Too many halftone photos and not enough type, but still and all, an engaging book about a legendary couple living in a magical time among an unbelievably talented group of people. Fans of the Jazz Age will find much to enjoy here. A fun, fast read.. A Beautiful New Edition I have loved this little book since I discovered it as a Dell paperback in my local drugstore in the early seventies. This book, lovingly written and supplemented with fascinating photographs, tells the story of a couple who were key members of the American expatriates in France in the twenties.The new edition could not be more beautifully designed, and contains new pictures of Gerald Murphy's paintings, and a poignant addition to the narrative.It is a welcome addition t
Their home in Antibes, Villa America, served as a gathering place for Picasso and Léger as well as Hemingway and Fitzgerald, who used the glamorous couple as models for Dick and Nicole Diver in Tender Is the Night. A bestseller when it first appeared in 1971, Living Well Is the Best Revenge features sixty-nine intimate photographs collected from the Murphys' family album, along with reproductions of several of Gerald Murphy's remarkable paintings--canvases that predate Pop Art by forty years. "Living Well Is the Best Revenge is a superb little study, alive with an elegance very much the Murphys'," said Nancy Mitford. In this enchanting memoir, New Yorker writer Calvin Tomkins re-creates the privileged world of Gerald and Sara Murphy, two American originals who found themselves at the center of a charmed circle of artists and expatriate writers in France in the 1920s. Critic Russell Lynes found the book to be "at once a sharp and charming evocation of an era and a cast, mostly delightful, surely famous, and usually talented, written with an elegant balance between tongue in cheek and sympathy." This Modern Library edition includes Calvin Tomkins's new Introduction and a rewritten last chapter.
After all, they were works of art while the others--Stein,Picasso, Hemingway, MacLeish, Fitzgerald--were only trying to create suchworks. The charming and imperturbable Gerald Murphy was a master of the art of living."--Louis Auchincloss" A marvel of taste and economy, LivingWell Is the Best Revenge manages to convey the originality and grace of the Murphys' life." &nb
