Product Information
Scandalized and celebrated by Parisian society, Lou Villars is an extraordinary athlete who is confident that one day she will be an inspiration for her gender. She's also a lesbian and cross-dresser who finds a safe haven in the Chameleon Club, a louche nightspot. As the exuberant 1920s give way to the depression of the 1930s, Lou abandons her work as a server and performer at the Chameleon Club to become a talented race-car driver, hovering on the brink of success. She falls in love with a German driver, Inge, and is soon ensnared in a web of flattery and lies that will warp her earnest desire for love and approval into something far more sinister: collaboration with the Nazis. Told in a kaleidoscope of voices, Lovers at the Chameleon Club, Paris 1932 evokes Paris with brio, humor, and intimacy. A brilliant work of fiction and a mesmerizing read, it is Francine Prose's finest novel yet.

Reviews
An engrossing literary mystery…Refracting the vivid, villainous life of Louisianne Villars through letters, memoirs, and the recreations of a biographer, Prose coaxes into kaleidoscopic view both a tortured human being and bohemian Paris before and during the Nazi occupation… she cleverly exploits the vain, self-serving nature of memory itself., At its best moments, the reader almost becomes another character in the novel, searching for meaning amid the menace and beauty of wartime Paris, surrounded by the city's many conflicting truths., Sexy, illicit … the best stories come to us many times over, repeated until even their true parts bear the qualities of fiction. They're also the ones we can't possibly know all of. This powerful, perceptive book offers these truths, and-even better-a great story to shroud them., The breadth, nerve and intricacy of Francine Prose's big new novel should surprise even her most regular readers. A bona fide page turner…, [F]ascinating... Lovers at the Chameleon Club, Paris 1932 captures the vibrance and violence of bohemian Paris before World War II..., A pitch perfect pastiche that interrogates the meaning of art and the limits of loyalty. With a style that is beautiful, strong, modest and absolutely authoritative Prose directs the light of her immense talent on the horrors of fascism and the puzzling, sometimes punishing nature of love. A great novel., Many sure-footed novelists have tried to embody Paris in its boozy, gender-bending, art-and-outrage pre-occupation golden age of the '20s and '30s before, but the ever-exceptional Prose succeeds in making the city alive by supplying it with a dissonant, avant-garde chorus of voices..., Prose does an impressive job crafting a plot in which each version of the story takes on its own dimensions and echoes - and the biggest question may be just which one of those narrators is the most outrageously unreliable., A tour de force...The result is fresh, layered and nuanced. It's historical fiction done right and one of the finest accomplishments of this accomplished author...The novel dazzles. With sure, intelligent narrative and elegant detail, Prose has crafted a story that honors its characters and a pivotal time in history., Lovers at the Chameleon Club, Paris 1932 will be many things to many people-history, mystery, chronicle, commentary-but above all, it's a generous book that offers complete submergence in a world constructed for readers' enjoyment. It's a dark and complicated place, this lamp-lit prewar Paris, but a remarkably entertaining one., Prose's novel pulses with the heartbeat of real life, brimming with colorful characters as artists (including, notably, Pablo Picasso), petty forgers, Nazis and resistance fighters meet on the page... It is a testament to Prose's considerable talent that she's able to execute such an ambitious work so flawlessly., So dazzlingly does Francine Prose re-create this seamy chapter of mid-century Paris that it's tempting to think of her as not a novelist but an editor who corralled all these people into a raucous work of history...C'est magnifique!, Brilliant and wicked and funny and right on-never has Europe been done with such savage precision…Every bit funny and appalling, at the end especially, of course. There's not a French affectation, hypocrisy or depravity left untouched. I love it!, Engrossing...The narrative twists and turns, circles back to add depth to previous scenes, at other times casts doubt on the reliability of a narrator, and occasionally calls into question the entire endeavor of historical fiction., LOVERS AT THE CHAMELEON CLUB is a teeming social portrait, told through several peculiar voices - Lou's is not one of them - and made real by astonishingly authentic details… Prose is versatile and fluid., Sexy, illicit ... the best stories come to us many times over, repeated until even their true parts bear the qualities of fiction. They're also the ones we can't possibly know all of. This powerful, perceptive book offers these truths, and-even better-a great story to shroud them., LOVERS AT THE CHAMELEON CLUB, PARIS 1932 paints an unforgettable portrait of Paris between the wars, a time and place that holds endless fascination for readers., Prose exuberantly conjures up the romance of that unstable era...filled with felicitous imagery and sparkling period details., LOVERS AT THE CHAMELEON CLUB, PARIS 1932 is a remarkable work of fiction that feels completely true. Richly atmospheric and utterly engrossing, it is not to be missed., The novel skillfully portrays the headiness of Parisian cafes, where artists and writers came together to talk and cadge free drinks, and the terror of the Nazi Occupation... Prose deftly demonstrates with a wink the self-seeking nature of memory and the way we portray our past., The circumstances that foster such unhappiness are always elusive, but they can be explored. That's the task of a good novel, and Prose has done the job., LOVERS AT THE CHAMELEON CLUB is a teeming social portrait, told through several peculiar voices - Lou's is not one of them - and made real by astonishingly authentic details... Prose is versatile and fluid., [F]ascinating… Lovers at the Chameleon Club, Paris 1932 captures the vibrance and violence of bohemian Paris before World War II…, Prose's latest book goes further in destroying the concept of a single truth than 'Rashomon.' It's also an uproarious portrait of Paris from the mid-twenties to the Second World War. Prose has always been adept at slaying sacred cows; in this book, she pretty much machine-guns them., Prose exuberantly conjures up the romance of that unstable era…filled with felicitous imagery and sparkling period details., A dark and glorious tour de force…In an intricately patterned, ever-morphing, lavishly well-informed plot spanning the French countryside and reaching to Berlin, Prose intensifies our depth perception of that time of epic aberration and mesmerizing evil as she portrays complex, besieged individuals struggling to become their true selves., [E]xcellent novel… With a deft and frequently scathing touch, Prose sends up nearly every literary type imaginable and then some…, Prose's novel pulses with the heartbeat of real life, brimming with colorful characters as artists (including, notably, Pablo Picasso), petty forgers, Nazis and resistance fighters meet on the page… It is a testament to Prose's considerable talent that she's able to execute such an ambitious work so flawlessly., Prose is the real chameleon here, blending effortlessly into half a dozen disparate voices...The result is a perfect stunner, the novel-as-a Picasso, or a kaleidoscope-vivid, fractured, and spellbinding...Prose is one of our sharpest critics and our most daring novelists, and this is her best book., Prose is the real chameleon here, blending effortlessly into half a dozen disparate voices…The result is a perfect stunner, the novel-as-a Picasso, or a kaleidoscope-vivid, fractured, and spellbinding…Prose is one of our sharpest critics and our most daring novelists, and this is her best book., A dark and glorious tour de force...In an intricately patterned, ever-morphing, lavishly well-informed plot spanning the French countryside and reaching to Berlin, Prose intensifies our depth perception of that time of epic aberration and mesmerizing evil as she portrays complex, besieged individuals struggling to become their true selves., Significant writers are rare. A writer like Prose, who is not only significant but capable of writing brilliantly about pretty much anything-from obsessive love to religious ecstasy to life in Paris in the twenties and beyond-is not only rare. She is, essentially, the Hope Diamond of literature., A tour de force…The result is fresh, layered and nuanced. It's historical fiction done right and one of the finest accomplishments of this accomplished author…The novel dazzles. With sure, intelligent narrative and elegant detail, Prose has crafted a story that honors its characters and a pivotal time in history., Lovers at the Chameleon Club, Paris 1932 will be many things to many people--history, mystery, chronicle, commentary--but above all, it's a generous book that offers complete submergence in a world constructed for readers' enjoyment. It's a dark and complicated place, this lamp-lit prewar Paris, but a remarkably entertaining one., [E]xcellent novel... With a deft and frequently scathing touch, Prose sends up nearly every literary type imaginable and then some..., The breadth, nerve and intricacy of Francine Prose's big new novel should surprise even her most regular readers. A bona fide page turner..., Prose's excellent novel, which treads between lightly mischievous (mocking Henry Miller) and deadly serious (invading Nazis), centers on a fictionalized French Olympic hopeful who spied for the Germans - and was killed by the Resistance in 1944., A reading experience like none other-a shimmering library of possible truths and forking pathways…Readers of this extraordinary novel become Villars' co-biographers, piecing through 'official' and underground accounts as ample (and as unreliable) as the human library of memory. I was addicted to this book., The wonder of Ms. Prose's terrific historical novel is how she takes inspiration from a work of visual art and builds, not just one story, not just one voice, but a kaleidoscope of voices and angles about individuals whose lives intersect at a particular time and place., Many sure-footed novelists have tried to embody Paris in its boozy, gender-bending, art-and-outrage pre-occupation golden age of the '20s and '30s before, but the ever-exceptional Prose succeeds in making the city alive by supplying it with a dissonant, avant-garde chorus of voices…, A reading experience like none other-a shimmering library of possible truths and forking pathways...Readers of this extraordinary novel become Villars' co-biographers, piecing through 'official' and underground accounts as ample (and as unreliable) as the human library of memory. I was addicted to this book., Francine Prose, in a testament to her talents, has managed to create a wartime saga that is both original and epic., Lovers at the Chameleon Club, Paris 1932 will be many things to many peoplehistory, mystery, chronicle, commentarybut above all, it's a generous book that offers complete submergence in a world constructed for readers' enjoyment. It's a dark and complicated place, this lamp-lit prewar Paris, but a remarkably entertaining one., An engrossing literary mystery...Refracting the vivid, villainous life of Louisianne Villars through letters, memoirs, and the recreations of a biographer, Prose coaxes into kaleidoscopic view both a tortured human being and bohemian Paris before and during the Nazi occupation... she cleverly exploits the vain, self-serving nature of memory itself., Brilliant and wicked and funny and right on-never has Europe been done with such savage precision...Every bit funny and appalling, at the end especially, of course.
