A welcome Elliott Bay return is made this evening by Ellis Avery. Her beautiful, Japan-set debut novel, The Teahouse Fire, has been a reader and critical favorite—the recipient of the Lambda Literary Award for Debut Fiction, the ALA's Stonewall Fiction Award, and was a Kiriyama Prize Notable Book. She is here with The Last Nude (Riverhead), a beguiling new novel based on the life and loves of Art Deco painter Tamara de Lempicka. "The Last Nude is a remarkable novel: at once a seductive evocation of Lost Generation Paris, a faithful literary rendering of Tamara de Lempicka's idiosyncratic and groundbreaking art, and a vibrant, intelligent moving story in its own right. It's also smoking hot." – Emily Barton. "As erotic and powerful as the paintings that inspired it, Ellis Avery's artist-muse love story is as much about money, class, and betrayal." – Emma Donoghue.
