Never Breathe a Word
Though perhaps better known for her tumultuous marriages to the painter Lucian Freud and poet Robert Lowell, Caroline Blackwood remains a woman whose formidable intellect and artistry indelibly marked every person she met and every sentence she crafted. When he interviewed her a year before her death in 1996, The New York Times chief art critic, Michael Kimmelman, called Blackwood a “strangely dramatic woman: intense and vulnerable, with . . . a dark, razor-sharp sense of humor and an offbeat sensibility.” The same can be said of the mostly female, and often troubled, characters in the stories of this startling new collection. Selections span the entirety of her career, from her first book, For All That I Found There, to Good Night Sweet Ladies, one of her last. The seven evocative nonfiction vignettes draw directly from Blackwood’s fascinating life, from her early difficult years through her days as a quintessential bohemian. Three entirely unpublished stories are included in the collection.

CAROLINE
The friendship between two men from two very different worlds leads to an unexpected legacy.
Caroline
The year was 1960. The place, Paris. They met by chance on the street in front of the small hotel where they both had taken lodging-the author, an American newspaperman; and a pretty girl with light brown hair cropped short, unruly. Her voice was low pitched, her accent unmistakably English but modulated, restrained, an echo of class, though not of the working class. In profile the sharp line of her jaw tipped upward and her forehead, high and straight, offered a classical image of startling beauty and febrile intensity. Her name was Caroline. For whatever reasons, or for no particular reason at all unless escape from unpleasantness and tedium was a reason, she and the author had drifted into this ancient city. Paris then was magic. Paris was that almost mythical idyll of youth and freedom, and Paris had seduced and bewitched them. Thus begins Alan Littell's memoir of the early years of the girl he one day would marry, from her birth as a British colonial in Cairo in 1939 to their life together in the Europe, England and America of the 1960s.
Nikki and Caroline in Berlin
Nikki and Caroline are two beautiful city nymphs working in present day Berlin, though their memories sometimes carry back to ancient Greece. Through them four Berlin stories interlock. The first is called The Red Princess and concerns the sometimes silly, sometimes fateful doings of members of the now deposed German nobility. The second, Willing Peter, takes up the issue of will in a city notorious for its failed triumphs. The third story, Pan Willie, literally makes a connection between Germany and ancient Greece, doing so with the use of a jazz trumpet. The last story, Herr Glück and the Fat Boy, recounts outrageous doings amongst Berlin's fringe residents.
