- Short biography
- Alice Prin, nicknamed Queen of Montparnasse at age 28, and often known as Kiki de Montparnasse, was born in poverty in Châtillon-sur-Seine, France. At age 12, she went to Paris, where she became an artist's model, nightclub singer, and actress whose face and body were immortalized in works by Fernand Léger, Maurice Utrillo, and Man Ray, among dozens of other artists. She became a painter herself and wrote her autobiography before dying at age 51. Kiki de Montparnasse helped define, and epitomized, the bohemian 1920s culture of Paris.

Reviews
La prima parte scritta nel 1929 è straordinaria. Una scrittura asciutta e capace in pochi tratti di disegnare quadri narrativi ricchissimi di piani. La seconda parte è un falso! Scritta mentre l'autrice è ormai morta (nel 1953) e il libro ancora vietato negli USA, ha un evidente cambio di stile e non ha la stessa freschezza,con accenti di un tardo surrealismo, in revival negli stessi anni. L'editore italiano non si fa scrupolo di pubblicare il tutto senza note e senza nemmeno citare show more l'autrice, ma speculando sul nome di Hemingway. show less
