It’s Paris, 1929. Hemingway, Dali, Man Ray, and the ever-thirsty Kiki of Montparnasse sit around a table on the Dome Cafe terrace, discussing a project for the enigmatic and vastly wealthy Comte de Charmentier. The Count wants a Danse Macabre for his walls, showing Death’s dance with all of humanity: kings and jazz musicians, Flappers and avant-garde artists, all dance their way to becoming the bones of Paris.
The Conversation is based on the Laurie R. King novel The Bones of Paris, coming September 2013.
