The Riviera
“Her bathing suit was pulled off her shoulders and her back, a ruddy, orange brown, set off by a string of creamy pearls, shone in the sun. Her face was hard and lovely and pitiful.” -- F. Scott Fitzgerald
Once Upon a Dreamboat
Elusive composers, meeting deadlines, librarian love, perfume madness, and more.
