Scripps College Fine Arts Foundation. Minche and I went to the luncheon meeting of the Fine Arts Foundation where we were able to purchase a half dozen paintings from the estate of Corinne Gallman, who served as president of the foundation for nine years over about four decades. Paul's mother Helen served as a co-president with Corinne in the 1990s and Paul served as co-president with her 2008-2010. She died this past January in her home in Claremont. Overall, the Foundation has donated more than $11,000 to the Fine Arts Foundation scholarship fund with proceeds from Corinne's art collection. And we revere Corinne's fine taste and rollicking good humor. One of the grande dames of Claremont.

Winners were selected January 31, the list sent to me, labels printed, and after two trips to the Claremont Post Office 1 copy went to the UK, 1 to British Columbia, and 18 to addresses across the U.S. Now, let's see if (1) people read the book and (2) possibly write a review for either Goodreads or Amazon. If anyone wants a free signed copy and agrees upfront to write a review, send me an email at myersbooks@gmail.com and I will get a copy off to you. First 10 requests only.

Kurt Eckhart, a Berlin correspondent, asks Bill’s help in publishing his war novel, a story about a doomed romance with a German nurse. A brave war...a failed peace...a story set during the Jazz Age in Paris of the 1920s...with plenty of Lost Generation panache.

A brave war…a failed peace…a story set in the Jazz Age in Paris of the 1920s with a look back to the war and the peace that came afterward. Two American veterans of the 1918 battle at Chateau Thierry meet in Paris in 1928. Kurt, now a Berlin correspondent, is writing the great American novel about the grinding end to the war, the desolation of the peace in Germany, and a doomed romance with a German nurse. Bill, a literary agent living on Ile St.-Louis in Paris, plans to publish the novel at the same time as Hemingway’s war novel debuts. Left Bank writer Kate edits the novel, quietly remembering her own long-lost love affair in the war. There is a star turn for true-life character Djuna Barnes and cameos with Janet Flanner, Solita Solano, Margaret Anderson, Man Ray, Andre Breton, Sylvia Beach, Natalie Barney, and John Maynard Keynes.
