The subject of this book, the beautiful, graceful and charismatic Neysa McMein went on her honeymoon accompanied by five men and without her husband, the mining engineer, Jack Baragwanath. It would be an eye-popping start to any novel, but this was real life. Suffice to say the marriage was an open one, with no jealousy on either side, and lasted until Neysa's death.
During those years, she became known for her wonderful pastel drawings of young women reproduced on the covers of The Saturday Evening Post and McCalls Magazine. Part of the Algonquin round table group, Neysa was the gay young thing, the hostess with charm, drawing the talented, the interesting and bedazzled men to her table. It was as though she had descended lightly and surely upon New York like a brilliant butterfly, charming all, creating parlour games, thinking up wildly exciting things to do, and generally living the 1920s and the 1930s to the full. People sought her out in her studio where she would calmly carry on drawing while talk and wit flowed around her, needing her in some way to be privy to the latest sayings and the nonsense. Her circle of friends ran like a Who's Who - Alexander Woollcott, Averell Harriman, Dorothy Parker, Harpo Marx, Ruth Gordon and in later years, Bill and Babe Paley.
Her story is a poignant example of how life enters a full phase where one's talents blossom, where one feels the power of being alive before the inevitable decline in energy and perhaps illness and finally death. And this is demonstrated, particularly in the last chapter entitled 'Passings', but there is the feeling that the book is a series of essays rather than a whole, where descriptions are repeated, inclining the reader towards frustration and restlessness. We get through a trip to Egypt in a page or so, similarly India, which does give a distant dimension rather than the closer feel. However, it is obviously written by an accomplished chronicler, and the world of Neysa McMein is a marvellous eye-opener to the wild, gay, 1920s and after and well worth discovering.
