fallen to Joan Schenkar to provide a remarkable addition to the literature of the time , a revelation of a world where the chief accounts have been the now rather elderly biographies of Natalie Barney ( George Wickes , 1976 ), Romaine Brooks ( Meryle Secreste , 1976 ) and the Princesse de Polignac ( Michael de Cossart , 1978 ).
" Dolly loved the truth ," says Schenkar . I walk blinking out into Frith Street , happy to have met one vivid woman who has written a vivid book about another .
