On Being and Frumpiness



I love this little article (envoyé à moi d'Elisabeth) debating whether Simone de Beauvoir was considered attractive. I'm looking forward to reading the new translation of The Second Sex since I couldn't get through the original version. (A bit too laborious for the mood I was in...) Although Wartime Diary and Transatlantic Love Affair: Letters to Nelson Algreen I could not put down. I highly recommend the later, especially with all its Chicago connections and living near and frequenting some of her old haunts.







I say, total fox.

I have tell people at Rainbo all the time that Simone used to visit the bar and most have never heard that! I'm still surprised.

going through a female members of the Lost Generation bio phase the past several months. All those women were just amazing.

Michelle--I just found that out last year! My favorite part is that they called her Simon the Beaver
