"This collection of letters tells the story of one of the most famous literary "sets" of the twentieth century - Gerald and Sara Murphy at the center of a group comprised of Ernest Hemingway and his wives, F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, John Dos Passos, Archibald MacLeish, Dorothy Parker, Alexander Woollcott, Robert Benchley, Philip Barry, and many others. They personaify the jazz age and the lost generation. Until now, the Murphys have been viewed primarily as cult/pop figures, particularly as they were depicted in Calvin Tomkins's Living Well Is the Best Revenge. What Linda Miller shows in this book is that they really were the center, without which the group as we know it could not hold. In this unique format - a sequential interweaving of letters from several correspondents - these writers and their families tell their own story while also providing us with new insights into their lives and this era. It is the best sort of eavesdropping. Gerald and Sara Murphy married on December 30, 1915. Both families were monied and cosmopolitan. Their attraction to each other was in part based on their desire to excape the routine and predictable social rounds in which their families were immersed. Against their families' wishes, they and their three children left for Europe in 1921. They remained in France for over a decade, and quite naturally socialized with the expatriate set. They were, in part, models for Dick and Nicole Diver in Tender Is the Night, MacLeish wrote poems about them, their friends paid tribute to them and relied on them day to day and in correspondence, and their own letters are worth reading for their liveliness and because they so well preserve a record of the twenties and thirties. This book contains nearly every extant letter between the Murphys and their friends during those decades. Most of them have never been published previously, and, of course, they have never been presented collectively. Together, they constitute an epistolary "novel" of peculiar power and authenticity. This is a story about an era that had its own special flair, along with its later tragedies." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
