Cruel Banquet: The Life And Loves Of Frida Strindberg by Monica Strauss

Life is a cruel banquet, Frida Uhl Strindberg said. "You pay for food and board with your blood. " Frida's banquet, in many ways, is the tale of her encounters with the seminal cultural figures of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries: August Strindberg, Edward Munch, Ford Maddox Ford, Ezra Pound, Augustus Johns. Her life embodied the fin-de-siècle generation, the contradiction in the relationships between men and women, between art and commerce. In 1893, one year out of convent school, Frida married the forty-three-year-old controversial Swedish playwright, August Strindberg.
