The Nights of Solidor

The Imaginary Memoirs of a Muse
Publisher Le Cherche Midi
The diary of a fictional muse from France's Roaring Twenties, a lesbian with a libertarian spirit.

The imaginary memories of Suzy Solidor, the muse of all Paris, host to the grandest of cabarets, star singer and model to famous painters. Her unusual beauty, deep voice, free ways, ande desire to conquer made her an absolute icon of her time. In 1973, Suzy takes pen to paper to recall her glory days and settle scores, reliving the century and her own lie. We meet her as a poor young woman from St. Malo, the biological daughter of a politician raised by the Breton shore. Nothing presaged her becoming the emblematic "flapper." As the tale goes on, this open lesbian's concern for her legacy gives way to a reflection on fate's vagaries and women's liberation.
