"An exciting close-up view of a magnificent artist and very courageous woman". - She"Naked at the Feast...reveals a world of astonishing facts, and even more astonishing paradoxes".- The Times "A biography of distinction, written with a graceful style rarely accorded a show-biz subject". - Evening Standard Josephine Baker was the very essence of Paris in the riotous Twenties. Hemingway, danced cheek to cheek with her, proclaiming her to be the most sensational woman anyone had ever seen; Picasso painted her; Colette sent her fan letters; her name was linked with Mussolini, de Gaulle, Peron, Castro, Tito and the Pasha of Marrakesh. This is the story of a remarkable woman in a truly remarkable era.
