The Age of Light by Whitney Scharer
4.0
A perfect summer read. I had never heard of Lee Miller before this book. Everyone knows Man Ray of course. Personally, I am not a fan of Dada or Surrealism. I appreciate what The Lost Generation was trying to do, but it is not my taste. But the stories of those who lived it deserve to be told and Lee's has only be around comparatively recently. This is a well written introduction to someone who's contribution to history has been overlooked (see Hedy Lamar), but her story is finally being recognized.
Scharer did a good job painting a picture of what transpired between Man and Lee. I know liberties are often taken in fiction, but I think it was accurate considering how temperamental artists can be, especially one like Man.
Overall, I'd highly recommend if one is looking to have an escape for a bit.
