This long-lost novel recounts a passionate triangle of love and
loss among three of the most daring women of belle epoque Paris. In
this barely disguised roman a clef, the legendary American heiress,
writer, and arts patron Natalie Clifford Barney becomes the
character N., the dashing Italian baroness Mimi Franchetti is M.,
and the beautiful French courtesan Liane de Pougy is L. Barney
writes of an erotic liaison that breaks all taboos but also reveals
N.'s vulnerability as she unexpectedly becomes the devastated
"third woman." The story ends with a powerful dialogue on the
challenges of love. Never before published in English, and only
recently published in French, this modernist, experimental work has
been brought to light by Chelsea Ray's research. It reveals a more
complex Natalie Barney and expands modernist literary
representations of lesbian love. Ray's translation is augmented by
her essay and notes highlighting themes of modernism and queer
studies, as well as by Melanie Hawthorne's introduction.
