In this enchanting memoir, New Yorker writer Calvin Tomkins re-creates the privileged world of Gerald and Sara Murphy, two American originals who found themselves at the center of a charmed circle of artists and expatriate writers in France in the 1920s. Their home in Antibes, Villa America, served as a gathering place for Picasso and Leger as well as Hemingway and Fitzgerald, who used the glamorous couple as models for Dick and Nicole Diver in Tender Is the Night. A bestseller when it first appeared in 1971, Living Well Is the Best Revenge features sixty-nine intimate photographs collected from the Murphys' family album, along with reproductions of several of Gerald Murphy's remarkable paintings--canvases that predate Pop Art by forty years.

"Living Well Is the Best Revenge is a superb little study, alive with an elegance very much the Murphys'," said Nancy Mitford. Critic Russell Lynes found the book to be "at once a sharp and charming evocation of an era and a cast, mostly delightful, surely famous, and usually talented, written with an elegant balance between tongue in cheek and sympathy."

This Modern Library edition includes Calvin Tomkins's new Introduction and a rewritten last chapter.

Great value for the style and material
Color: Brown
Purchased as a replacement for my son's previous wallet. He found this same wallet on Timberland's website at a much higher price. He received it and has used it ever since it was delivered. He was very pleased and still is with how soft the wallet is. He likes the style a lot as well.

Perfect wallet
Color: Black (Sportz)
This is a quality wallet that you would think cost more.. nice and thin and that’s why I bought it. My son needed a new wallet and prefers it to be light weight and not bulky. This is perfect. Nice capacity and all you will need. 5 stars.
