We're back with new episodes on February 7! The New York Times called The Green Parrot “A strange and beautiful story, with the faintly arid charm of a miniature painted on the cover of a seventeenth-century snuff box.” That’s just one of the many reasons Amy and Kim couldn’t wait to discuss the provocative and brilliant author Princess Marthe Bibesco and her 1924 gem of a novel. Joining them is this week’s guest, book publicist and jewelry designer Lauren Cerand. Discussed in this episode: The Green Parrot by Marthe Bibesco Lauren CerandTurtle Point PressThe Eight Paradises by Marthe Bibesco Prix de l'Académie FrançaiseMarcel ProustPrince Antoine BibescoJean CocteauRainer Maria RilkeVita Sackville WestWinston Churchill“A Rose that Held a Princess’s Secret” (Mental Floss)Proust's Muse, The Countess GreffulheSpeak, Memory by Vladimir NabokovHigh Valley BooksThe Balkan Trilogy by Olivia ManningMore Was Lost by Eleanor Piryani The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey EugenidesSofia CoppolaAdam MoodyThe Awakening by Kate ChopinA Simple Heart by Gustave FlaubertThe Final Solution by Michael ChabonFor episodes and show notes, visit: LostLadiesofLit.com Follow us on instagram @lostladiesoflit.
