Naked at the Feast: A Biography of Josephine Baker;

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 Gaule, Peron, castro, Tito and the Pasha of Marrakesh. This is the story of a remarkable woman in a remarkable era.
