Lovers at the Chameleon Club, Paris 1932

by Francine Prose

Set against the glittering backdrop of Paris in the 1920s, 'Lovers at the Chameleon Club, Paris 1932' weaves the tale of Lou Villars, a talented athlete and bold cross-dressing lesbian, who seeks acceptance in the era's dazzling underground scene. The Chameleon Club, a sanctuary for the city's dazzling misfits, bridges their fates with those of an ascending Hungarian photographer, a wealthy art patroness, and a caustic American expatriate writer. Through a series of striking photos, alliances of love and ambition, and the haunting pull of art and betrayal, their stories unfurl. Lou's ambitions and search for love lead her down paths of triumph and transformation, particularly as a noted race car driver. Yet as the shimmer of the Jazz Age dims into darker times, Lou's evolution takes a perilous turn, intertwining her destiny with a tumultuous history.
