Price of Illusion: A Memoir | Joan Juliet Buck

"I wanted to be bigger than life and make magic, I wanted to bake bread, I wanted to give people the best gifts they'd ever had, I wanted to be the one who saw the truth. I wanted to be the king in the long red robes, I wanted to be the queen with jewels so precious they didn't have to shine."

Holed up at the Standard in advance of tonight's biennial opener at the Whitney, which feels like the exact right place to read this memoir by the fmr EIC of French Vogue: both hotel and book are full of crazy European people wearing fur. 50 pages in, the name dropping is heavy and the clothes are consistently insane, as Joan begins her career in what I can only imagine as an all-suede gypsy Noh play turban-topped business pajama.
