| | | | | | | | | | | Beautiful, talented, and breathtakingly ambitious, divorcée Clare Boothe Brokaw climbed swiftly from writing captions at Vogue to become the managing editor of Condé Nast's literary jewel, Vanity Fair, and author of the biting comedy The Women. In a 1997 biography, Sylvia Jukes Morris reveals the extraordinary force of the woman who in 1934 captivated the grandly idiosyncratic, long-married Henry Luce, founder and editor in chief of Time, Fortune, and, later, Life, beginning one of the most remarkable romances of the 20th century. | | | | | | | | With America about to celebrate the 100th birthday of its larger-than-life literary son Ernest Hemingway in 1999, Alane Salierno Mason discovered in an old steamer trunk a cache of letters and telegrams from the writer to her adoptive grandmother, a celebrated, well-married beauty named Jane Kendall Mason. They gave new insights into a liaison that blossomed amid the decadent delights of 1930s Havana, enraged and enchanted Hemingway, haunted his work, and destroyed his relationship with his editor Arnold Gingrich, the founder of Esquire, who eventually became the fourth husband of the dashing, complicated, and tragic "Mrs. M." | | | | | | | | | |
