Thompson, Victor Brauner, and many others ? are recalled in the oral history with sharp intelligence and dry wit.Profusely illustrated with Rumney's own photos, paintings, and collages and other documentary materials."The Consul regains that magnificent freedom that a handful of people enjoyed and shared with artists, writers and others, in a world whose password was total, unfailing rejection of the world." ?
