- Description
- The authors, the American writer Lisa Alther (1944) and the french artist Françoise Gilot (1921), have been friends for more than twenty-five years. In this book is published their extended conversation in which they talk about everything important to them: their childhoods, the impact of war on their lives and their work, and their views on love, style, self-invention, feminism, and child rearing. They also discuss the creative impulse and the importance of art as they ponder what it means to be a woman.
