Adam and Leonora (2024)
Carol Jameson
"Jameson has written a wonderful novel, layered with romantic escapades and philosophical musings on Art and Life. She deftly handles different places and historical time periods from Paris on the cusp of war, to New York, Mexico, and Los Angeles. Adam is the archetypal male artist, a modern Don Quixote in search of the Ideal, while Andre Breton, as Sancho Panza, offers counsel that fluctuates between brilliance and buffoonery. The women - Pauline, Mimi, and Leonora - are visionary artists in their own right. Adam and Leonora is executed in a fluid literary style reminiscent of the great studies of human folly."
