About this listen

Paris, the City of Light, was once the scene of a brilliant magnesium flare, host to the belle epoque from 1900 to 1914. Tempting poets, painters, writers, and composers from across Europe, the city relied on one man to move among them all - Guillaume Apollinaire. His contemporaries called him brilliant, mad, whimsical. He was the bastard son of an Italian cavalry officer and a Polish woman addicted to gambling, but nevertheless let it be rumored around Paris that he was the son of the pope.

Still baffled

I really don’t know what to make of this novel. Perhaps I wasn’t listening carefully enough at the beginning and lost the plot before I even got it. Eventually I figured out that the protagonist was meant indeed to be the “A” of the same name who knew Picasso, and wondered if this was supposed to be a historical novel about their relationship… and Pablo was present, but then, no. I was further baffled by the women named Marie, Olga, Jacqueline (were these supposed to be Picasso’s muses/wives? But then A married Jacqueline, so it wasn’t that. The book failed because I didn’t get it, but I kept listening despite it. Not sure why. Though I did appreciate the Paris setting and many a turn of phrase.
