Love Among the Artists

About this book

With his inimitable wit and sparkle, George Bernard Shaw brings us the story of three wayward geniuses: two pianists (one a salty non-conformist and the other a beautiful Polish woman) and an actress of great self-made charm. Through their relations with the more convential folk around them - the socialites at whose romantic pretensions Shaw delighted to poke fun - he offers shrewd insight into the nature of the artistict temperament, with its needs for a kind of commitment that overrides the everyday claims of the heart." --Back cover.
