2015 CHOICE Outstanding Academic TitleLonglisted for the 2015 American Library in Paris Book AwardDuring the Jazz Age, France became a place where an African American woman could realize personal freedom and creativity, in narrative or in performance, in clay or on canvas, in life and in love. These women were participants in the life of the American expatriate colony, which included F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein, and Cole Porter, and they commingled with bohemian avantgarde writers and artists like Picasso, Breton, Colette, and Matisse. Bricktops Paris introduces the reader to twentyfive of these women and the city they encountered. Following this nonfiction account, T. Denean SharpleyWhiting provides a fictionalized autobiography of Ada Bricktop Smith, which brings the players from the world of nonfiction into a Paris whose elegance masks a thriving underworld.
