In the 1925, an american journalist and amazing writer named Janet Flanner began her New Yorker correspondence from Paris. She signed the letters "Genet" and the publication began a lifelong romance between Flanner and the New Yorker that would last 5 decades. She was famously a part of the Lost Generation, americans living in Paris, authors, painters, intellectuals such as Ernest Hemmingway, Ezra Pound, Gertrude Stein, e e cummings, and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Flanner introduced the New Yorker audience to upcoming Parisian artists including Picasso, Braque, Matisse, Andre Gide, and Jean Cocteau. She had many romances, boyfriends, girlfriends, and will always be remembered as "une ecrivaine inclassable."
