Love Days

Ettie Stettheimer bares all in Love Days, revealing her life through a fictionalized salon of avant-garde artistsMeet Ettie Stettheimer's alter ego: Susanna Moore, a ravishing Greek scholar. Susanna has no trouble deciphering arcane texts, but when it comes to matters of the heart, she's lost in translation. Her desire for love, knowledge and the company of great artists carries her from New York and Berlin to Capri and Paris, but she can only run from herself for so long. Together with her sisters Florine and Carrie, Ettie hobnobbed with all the big names of the avant-garde scene at the turn of the century--see if you can spot the characters she modeled after Elie Nadelman, Robert Delaunay and Marcel Duchamp. Ettie Stettheimer (1875-1955) graduated from Barnard College, received a master's degree at Columbia University and earned her PhD in philosophy at the University of Freiburg. In 1917, she made her literary debut under the pseudonym Henrie Waste, publishing Philosophy: An Autobiographical Fragment.
