SO, I have always loved André's sartorial choices and I've really loved his fashion commentary throughout the years. This memoir, which I was listening to while reading a book about the surrealist movement, was a great description of another group of friends and artists that left an indelible impact on the world.
This memoir also made me sad. André had so much love to give to others and was in search of love all his life. He seems to have found it in his friendships, yet some of his longest lasting ones ended without the closure he seemed to yearn for.
The detail provided in this memoir is stunning, the sumptuous clothing and decorating descriptions are unparalleled and create an atmosphere that you can really feel all encompassed by as a reader.
I'm very happy to have listened to this book as André's voice and intonation were an ESSENTIAL part of the storytelling for me.
Memoir is subjective, as is history, and I found André's fascinating.

I would recommend this for fashion devotees, those interested in 20th century & Black history, and those that enjoy listening to GOSSIP.
