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.

Well made, with one issue
Size: 16 Women/15 Men, Color: Black/White/Black
Sandals are well made with nice arch support. Fit true to size (15). Only issue is that the front of each upper is thin and cuts into my skin just above the toes when bending the toes. No blood but a bit uncomfortable for long walks to and from the pool.

Super light and breathable, great for golf
Size: Medium, Color: White Golf Flag
I picked up the Obla Mens Golf Polo Shirt Dry Fit Performance and it’s been a great shirt for the course. The fabric is thin and stretchy, which makes it really comfortable and easy to move in. It breathes well, so you don’t feel overheated even when you’re out there for a while. Honestly, it’s so light it almost feels like you’re not wearing a shirt. The pattern looks great too, and the fit is on point, not too tight, not too loose. Pros: Lightweight and breathable Stretchy and comfortable Nice pattern/design Fits really well Cons: None so far Overall: Great golf shirt if you want something light and comfortable. Definitely one I’d pick up again

Attractive shirt and a great value
Size: X-Large, Color: Deep Purple Sunflower
Surprised by the quality. It looks more expensive than it was. It's an excellent value and fit perfectly. It's not boxy or sloppy, but looks trim and professional. The fabric is a perfect weight for Spring and Summer, and the colors and pattern are really nice. It laundered like a dream. With no shrinkage. This is versatile enough to wear on the golf course, or dressed up with a sport jacket over it. Great buy.

💲Good Value💲
Size: Large, Color: Pink Colored Dots
Purchased three in large, nice cut and fit, attractive colors/patterns, excellent price point, moderate weight material. From a few feet away these shirts look as good as a $100 polo. Under close inspection they are still nice but not designer quality. That’s fine, as the intended purpose is for golf in the Florida heat. Unlikely to shrink or fade as the material is synthetic. Economical and attractive shirts especially if you don’t care about designer labels. Hope this review was useful/helpful. ☮️
