What is Parisian Lives : a Novel about?

"Set in Europe in the last lovely years before World War II, Sam Steward's new novel tells the story of Sir Arthur Lyly, the last and most notorious protégé of Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas. Nostalgic yet psychologically acute, Steward chronicles the strange interconnection between Sir Arthur's rising career as a painter and his increasingly dangerous and desperate sexual passions - for a Chicago gangster, a disturbed British sailor, a young Parisian tough, and a Spanish peasant boy. Woven through and around the story is an enchanting evocation of the French countryside, the Paris bohemian scene of the late thirties, and the domestic humor and life of Gertrude and Alice, whose voices are caught with such uncanny precision that both women spring to life on the page"--Dust jacket flap
