"Les personnes que je croise me regardent comme une vieille connaissance à laquelle elles associent deux images contradictoires : la présentatrice d'une émission qui fut célèbre il y a plus de vingt ans et qui demeure dans la mémoire collective ; la femme qui fit, à son corps défendant, des milliers de "unes" de journaux à l'occasion d'un scandale planétaire impliquant son mari. N'étant pas seulement l'une et ne me reconnaissant pas dans l'autre, je me suis finalement résolue à écrire mes Mémoires, après y avoir été longtemps réticente."

F. Scott Fitzgerald was one of the foremost American novelists of his time. His works, which included masterpieces such as The Great Gatsby, portrayed the Jazz Age of the Roaring Twenties and gave voice to a lost generation, but somewhere along the way, Fitzgerald himself became lost.

Decía Carmen Laforet que la vida le interesaba en todos sus momentos, tanto en los malos como en los buenos. Por eso leía, viajaba, escribía y observaba los acontecimientos con el corazón revuelto, lleno de emociones que no dejaban de latir. En el centenario de su nacimiento, esta biografía recupera la voz de quien nunca quiso hacer lo que se esperaba de ella.

There was no reason to bet on Bruce Johnson, given where he started out. Poor, Black, and raised by a single mother who had a secret. He was the child she hid in plain view from the rest of her family.
