Reviews" The dichotomy between art and life permeates Tomkins's book and makes up its principal charm. . . . [The Murphys] drew artists and writers to them ineluctably. After all, they were works of art while the others--Stein,Picasso, Hemingway, MacLeish, Fitzgerald-- were only trying to create such works. . . . [This is a] beautiful and evocative memoir. . . . The charming and imperturbable Gerald Murphy [was] a master of the art of living." --Louis Auchincloss " A marvel of taste and economy, Living Well Is the Best Revenge manages to convey the originality and grace of the Murphys' life." --Time
