It is a place of intoxicating ambition, passion, art, and discontent, where louche jazz venues like the Chameleon Club draw expats, artists, libertines, and parvenus looking to indulge their true selves. It is at the Chameleon where the striking Lou Villars, an extraordinary athlete and scandalous cross-dressing lesbian, finds refuge among the club's loyal denizens, including the rising Hungarian photographer Gabor Tsenyi, the socialite and art patron Baroness Lily de Rossignol; and the caustic American writer Lionel Maine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the years pass, their fortunes--and the world itself--evolve. Lou falls desperately in love and finds success as a race car driver. Gabor builds his reputation with startlingly vivid and imaginative photographs, including a haunting portrait of Lou and her lover, which will resonate through all their lives. As the exuberant twenties give way to darker times, Lou experiences another metamorphosis--sparked by tumultuous events--that will warp her earnest desire for love and approval into something far more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Francine Prose\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0061713783\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780061713781\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/22\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.60w x 1.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Lambda Literary Awards - Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2013 pg. 69\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/15\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2014 pg. 30\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/17\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2014 pg. 85\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/20\/2014 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/27\/2014 pg. 30\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/29\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/09\/2014 pg. 69\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew Yorker (The)\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/30\/2014 pg. 75\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Best Fiction\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2014 pg. 42\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNY Times Notable Bks of Year\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/07\/2014 pg. 27\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist Editors Choice\/Adult\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2015 pg. 11\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBookPage\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/31\/2015 pg. 52\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2013","brand":"Francine Prose","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43946139812095,"sku":"9780061713781","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_8a8e0b1b-d323-45b9-8c5c-2b6cecd75003.jpg?v=1681511732","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lovers-at-the-chameleon-club-francine-prose-9780061713781","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
