Since the hardcover of The Swans of Fifth Avenue was published, Ive been asked by many readers if there was any one particular Swan who has influenced me in my own life; if theres one I personally identify with. I always answer that I think I identified the most with Slim Keith; her voice in the book is the most like my own. I loved her attitude, her ability to cut through the bullshit. I loved that she alone didnt really seem to take all the trappings of wealth seriously. But as far as whos influenced me the most, I think Id have to answer Babe. Because there have been several times, since writing the book, when Ive found myself asking WWBD? What Would Babe Do? It came up when I was preparing for my book tour last winter. All of a sudden, my typical author wardrobe didnt seem up to snuff: How could I go out and talk about these fabulous women wearing my usual black upon black upon more black? So I asked myself, What Would Babe Do? Babe would purchase an entire new wardrobe. She would build it meticulously, piece by piece. She would spend days trying each piece on, combining them in different ways, looking for maximum impact. Maximum fabulousness. It was a little hard to convince my husband that my frequent outings to Bloomingdales and Nordstrom were vital to my career, but ultimately, I stopped trying to convince him, asking myself once more--- What Would Babe Do? Shed go shopping anyway. And so I did. When it came time to pack this fabulous wardrobe for the tour, I wrestled with the usual dilemma. Do I bring everything or pack lightly? WWBD? Shed bring everything. So into my brand new suitcase (another result of WWBD?) everything went. Should I pack carry--on? Resign myself to a few tiny jars of the bare minimum of toiletries---a tube of all--purpose moisturizer, toothpaste, mouthwash---and hope for the best? Or should I bring along my dependable arsenal, my jars and tubes of unguents and potions: the toner and concealer and night cream and day cream and wrinkle cream and eye cream, the perfume, the liquid foundation, the shampoo and conditioner and styling product, the hairspray? The hand lotion that smells like lavender? What Would Babe Do? In the suitcase went everything; out the window went the convenience of not having to check the bag. Now, I know authors who can breeze through a tour with one single backpack. I have never been one of those authors, but Ive always felt terrible about that. Ive always suspected that Im way more high--maintenance than most of my peers, and that isnt a comfortable feeling. Or---it wasnt. Until I spent a lot of time with Babe Paley while researching and writing The Swans of Fifth -Avenue. And I realized that depending upon a ritual, finding delight in the discipline of maintenance, of pampering, of making up and dressing well, isnt the frivolous time--waster I used to think it was. Babe lived in a different era, an era when a hairdresser visited her every day to set, style, and spritz. A fabulous, glamorous time---a time I sometimes long for, to tell the truth, especially when Im jammed into an airplane protected from my seatmate by only a thin layer of yoga pant, watching fellow passengers floss their teeth or trim their nails. Every day, after hours spent perfecting herself, Babe emerged from her home looking rested, ready, and beautiful. Every single day, even if she was just walking the dog. And it was a treat to see her, according to every account. A feast for the eyes. And for the senses. Isnt that lovely? That she cared enough to give that to the world? That she respected people enough to live up to their expectation of her? Im not saying I present such a picture, and even at my most vain, I dont spend hours on my hair. But I do appreciate the time and consideration that Babe gave to her appearance; its a treat to look at all the photos of her, and marvel at such perfection, such an ornament of a different, more glamorous time. I know Ill never look like Babe Paley. I also know I dont have to; I have a different canvas for my art---the page---whereas Babes only creative outlet, her only canvas, was herself. Im the lucky one, of course. But I also no longer feel uncomfortable about my own somewhat high--maintenance schedu≤ I dont discount it as wasted time or vanity run amok. I no longer feel sheepish about not being able to travel with only a backpack and a toothbrush. Because at the end of the day, after Ive unpacked all my unguents and potions and hung all my nice clothes and lined up all the shoes, I feel special. Cared for. By myself. And isnt that a nice gift? To bestow attention upon yourself, to pamper yourself? Isnt it a nice gift to give to everyone who happens to pass you on the street, or sit next to you on a plane, or show up at your book signing? The gift of your best, most polished self? I think so. And that, more than anything else, is What Babe Paley Would Do. Discussion Question for Reading Group Guide 1. The Swans have very complicated relationships with one another---perhaps most notably, Slim and Pamela were both married to the same man. What ties these women together, despite their differences and the sometimes competitive nature of their friendships? 2. Truman is embraced wholeheartedly by the Swans when he first appears on the New York social scene. What do you think draws them to him? 3. Discuss Babes marriage to Bill. What are its strengths? What are its weaknesses? 4. What do you think of Trumans relationship with fame? At times, he seems willing to sacrifice almost anything (love, his health, and his friendships) in pursuit of the limelight. How does that serve him, ultimately? 5. Why do you think Truman published "La Cote Basque 1965"? What point was he making about (or to) the storys subjects? 6. Truman and Babe were both heavily influenced by their mothers. In what ways were their childhood experiences similar? In what ways were they different? 7. Babe and her sisters were raised for successful marriages. Did they live up to their mothers hopes? 8. Pick three words to describe Truman and Babes friendship. (Or pick one word to describe Truman, one to describe Babe, and one to describe their friendship.) 9. Do you think Babe forgave Truman in the end? 10. A number of characters tell stories throughout the novel. What are some of the stories that you tell---about yourself or about others? In what ways do stories shape our experiences? 11. Who was your favorite character? Why? 12. Who surprised you the most? Why? 13. Aging is a prominent theme throughout the novel, as the opulent fifties come to an end and a new generation of socialites supplants the glamorous Swans. What did you think of that? How do you feel about getting older? 14. Discuss the significance of memory in this novel. In what ways do we distort our memories? What, if anything, is the significance of this? 15. If you have read any of Melanie Benjamins previous books, compare and contrast this work with her earlier novels. Is this story a departure? If so, in what ways? If not, how is it in keeping with her other writing? 16. Babe always presents a very carefully composed face to the world. Only occasionally do we see that mask slip. Discuss those moments. Who is the real Babe, beneath the makeup and jewels? 17. How has the role of women in society shifted from the 1960s to today? 18. Can you think of a woman who is the modern equivalent of Babe Paley and her circle of friends? Excerpt from Book chapter 1 ..... Once upon a time-- It was the best of times, it was the worst of times-- There once was a man from Nantucket-- Truman giggled. He covered his mouth like a little boy, and tittered until his slender shoulders shook, his blue eyes so gleefully mischievous that he looked like a statue of Pan come to life. "Oh, Big Mama! I am such a naughty imp!" "True Heart, you are priceless!" Slim had laughed, too, she remembered, laughed until her ribs ached. Truman did that to her in those glorious early days; he made her laugh. That was it, really. The simple truth of the matter. When he was young, back in 1955, when they were all young--or, at least, younger--when fame was new and friendships fledgling, fueled by champagne and caviar and gifts from Tiffanys, Truman Capote was a hell of a lot of fun to be around. "Once upon a time," Slim had finally pronounced. "Yes. Well ...," and Truman drawled it out in his theatrical way, adding several syllables. "Once upon a time, there was New York." New York. Stuyvesants and Vanderbilts and Roosevelts and staid, respectable Washington Square. Trinity Church. Mrs. Astors famous ballroom, the Four Hundred, snobby Ward McAllister, that traitor Edith Wharton, Delmonicos. Zany Zelda and Scott in the Plaza fountain, the Algonquin Round Table, Dottie Parker and her razor tongue and pen, the Follies. Cholly Knickerbocker, 21, Lucky Strike dances at the Stork, El Morocco. The incomparable Hildegarde playing the Persian Room at the Plaza, Cary Grant kneeling at her feet in awe. Fifth Avenue: Henri Bendel, Bergdorfs, Tiffanys. There was a subterranean New York, as well; "lower" in every meaning of the word. Ellis Island and the Bowery and the Lower East Side. The subway. Automats and Schraffts, hot dogs from a cart, pizza by the slice. Chickens hanging from windows in Chinatown, pickles from a barrel on Delancey. Beatniks in the Village with their torn stockings and dirty turtlenecks and disdain for everything. But that wasnt the New York that drew the climbers, the dreamers, the hungry. No, it was lofty New York, the city of penthouses and apartments in the St. Regis or the Plaza or the Waldorf, the New York for whom "Take the A Train" was a song, not an option. The New York of big yellow taxis in a pinch, if the limousine was otherwise occupied. The New York of glittering opening nights at the Met; endless charity balls and banquets; wide, clean sidewalks uncluttered by pushcarts and clothing racks and children playing. Views of the park, the river, the bridge, not sooty brick walls or narrow, dank alleys. The New York of the plays, the movies, the books; the New York of The New Yorker and Vanity Fair and Vogue. It was a beacon, a spire, a beacon on top of a spire. A light, always glowing from afar, visible even from the cornfields of Iowa, the foothills of the Dakotas, the deserts of California. The swamps of Louisiana. Beckoning, always beckoning. Summoning the discontented, seducing the dreamers. Those whose blood ran too hot, and too quickly, causing them to look about at their placid families, their staid neighbors, the graves of their slumbering ancestors and say-- Im different. Im special. Im more. They all came to New York. Nancy Gross--nicknamed "Slim" by her friend the actor William Powell--from California. Gloria Guinness--"La Guinness"--born a peasant in a rural village in Mexico. Barbara Cushing--known as "Babe" from the day she was born, the youngest of three fabulous sisters from Boston. And Truman. Truman Streckfus Persons Capote, who showed up one day on William S. and Babe Paleys private plane, a tagalong guest of their good friends Jennifer Jones and David O. Selznick. Bill Paley, the chairman and founder of CBS, had gaped at the slender young fawn with the big blue eyes and funny voice; "I thought you meant President Truman," hed hissed to David. "Ive never heard of this little--fellow. We have to spend the whole weekend with him?" Babe Paley, his wife, murmured softly, "Oh, Bill, of course youve heard of him," as she went to greet their unexpected guest with her legendary warmth and graciousness. Of course, Bill Paley had heard of Truman Capote. Who hadnt, in Manhattan in 1955? Truman, Truman, Truman--voices whispered, hissed, envied, disdained. Barely thirty, the Boy Wonder, the Wunderkind, the Tiny Terror (this last, however, mainly uttered by other writers, it must be admitted). Truman Capote, slender, wistful bangs and soulful eyes and unsettling, pouty lips, reclining lazily, staring sultrily from the jacket of his first novel, Other Voices, Other Rooms. A novel that neither Babe nor any of her friends such as Slim or Gloria had bothered to read, it must be admitted. But still, they whispered his name at cocktail parties, benefits, and luncheons. "You must meet--" "Im simply mad about--" "Of course you know--" Truman. "I introduced you to him first," Slim reminded Babe after that fateful weekend jaunt to the Paleys home in Jamaica; that startling, stunning weekend when Babe and Truman had found themselves blinking at the first dazzling sunrise of friendship, still so new that they didnt quite understand that it was friendship, this thing that had cast a spell over the two of them to the exclusion of mere mortals. "You just dont remember. But he was mine, my True Heart. Its not fair that youve stolen him from me." And Slim pouted and shook her blond hair, always hanging over one eye, looking more like Lauren Bacall than did Lauren Bacall, which was only appropriate, since Lauren Bacall had modeled herself after Slim. "Around the time he was working on the screenplay of Beat the Devil, Leland brought him home for dinner one night. Dont you remember?" "No, it was I who first discovered him," Gloria insisted with a flash of her exotic dark eyes; that flash that always threatened to expose her real origin, concealed so nearly completely beneath the Balenciaga dresses and Kenneth hairstyles--and studied British accent. "Im surprised, Slim, that you dont recall. It was soon after he adapted The Grass Harp for Broadway. I dont generally go in for Broadway, naturally," she said with an arch look at Slim, who bristled. "But Im very glad I went to that opening night. I told you all about him then, Babe." "My dear, no. I invited him for the weekend, in Paris, dont you recall?" Pamela broke in, her voice so veddy, veddy British that they all, instinctively, leaned in to hear her (and they all, instinctively, recognized the ploy for what it was, and the many times their husbands had done the same thing, only to encounter Pamelas magnificent cleavage displayed in a low-cut Dior). "Long before any of you--back when he had just published Other Voices, Other Rooms. Bennett Cerf, you know, the publisher"--and she could barely suppress a shudder; one simply did not like to admit one knew those types--"asked me if I could entertain this young novelist of his, as he was rather nervous about reviews. You were there, Babe. Im certain of it." "Ladies, ladies," admonished C.Z., unflappable and untouchable as ever, never quite "in" but never quite "out" of their world--simple and uncomplicated, a Hitchcock blonde with a sunny smile (and a clenched, exceedingly proper Boston drawl). But C.Z., they all knew, was happier puttering around in her garden, spade in hand, or tending to her horses than she was lunching at Le Pavillon. "I dont usually care about this sort of thing, but I do believe I was the one who introduced Truman to Babe. We were shopping at Bergdorfs. Truman is marvelous at picking out just the right handbag. You were there that afternoon, Babe." "No, I propose it was on our yacht," Marella said in her uncertain English; her entire manner was shy and tentative around her friends, since she was much younger than they were, never entirely sure of her place, despite her fabulous wealth and exquisite beauty--and a face that Truman had pronounced "what Botticelli would have created, had Botticelli had more talent!" "Alec Korda brought him along, one summer. I believe you and Bill were there, Babe, were you not?" Babe Paley, cool in a blue linen Chanel suit that did not crease, no matter the radiator heat of a New York summer, didnt reply; she merely looked on, amused, as she removed her gloves, folded them carefully, and slipped them inside her Herm Details ISBN0345528700 Author Melanie Benjamin Short Title SWANS OF 5TH AVENUE Language English ISBN-10 0345528700 ISBN-13 9780345528704 Media Book Format Paperback Year 2016 Imprint Random House Inc Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States Birth 1962 Publication Date 2016-10-25 Subtitle A Novel UK Release Date 2016-10-25 AU Release Date 2016-10-25 NZ Release Date 2016-10-25 US Release Date 2016-10-25 Pages 400 Publisher Random House USA Inc Replaces 9781101885536 DEWEY FIC Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
