From the Author
The history behind FREE LOVE
Since before the Great War, Greenwich Village was the beacon that drew young artists and writers to New York. After the Armistice, it became the place to be for women as well as men. Food,flats,and wine were cheap, ideas and talk were rich, and love was free. Genders blended. Women had just gotten the vote. What a wonderful time to be alive! I chose Edna St. Vincent Millay as my spiritual inspiration and made my protagonist, Olivia Brown, a poet. I steeped myself in Millay's Greenwich Village, in the glory days of the Provincetown Players, where Eugene O'Neill's work was first performed by enthusiastic amateurs, Millay included. Millay's letters and poetry were invaluable, as were Allen Churchill's THE IMPROPER BOHEMIANS and Ann Douglas' A TERRIBLE HONESTY. The setting of FREE LOVE is the Village in 1920, with its bars, saloons, and coffeehouses, with the Provincetown Playhouse. The places I've used existed, as did Prohibition, which only served to enhance the romance of alcohol. I found the Hudson Dusters (I've used their real names) in Arthur and Barbara Gelb's wonderful biography of O'Neill, and I made them mine. They did take O'Neill under their wing, but the rest is fiction.
