Lux Lotus Icons: Elsa Von Freytag-Loringhoven

My affection for bohemian tales is well-documented, so it's not really a surprise that I enjoyed Rene Steinke's new novel, Holy Skirts, which is a fictional exploration of the life of the very real Baroness Elsa Von Freytag-Loringhoven. What is surprising though, is how much I loved it (and Elsa's take-no-prisoners attitude). I haven't been able to stop thinking about the exquisite story, which packs quite a lot in even as each scene unfolds in an elegantly spare way on the page. It's very, very good and my pick for the moment.

Other LL Icons: Denise Levertov and Mae Murray.
