Genet: A Biography of Janet Flanner [Paperback] Wineapple, Brenda

Before there were travel bloggers, there was Janet Flanner—Paris correspondent for The New Yorker for fifty years, writing under the pen name 'Genêt'. Brenda Wineapple's masterful biography brings to life this pioneering journalist who chronicled the city's literary expatriates, witnessed the rise of fascism, and captured Europe's tumultuous twentieth century with wit and precision. Flanner moved through Hemingway's Paris, knew Gertrude Stein intimately, and reported on everything from haute couture to the Nuremberg trials. This is essential reading for anyone fascinated by literary Paris, groundbreaking women journalists, or the golden age of magazine writing.
