Description
Paris, April 1940. Peggy Guggenheim leaves the Ritz and walks through a city that appears, on the surface, to be going about its ordinary life. Behind that calm are the headlines, the approach of war and questions about the future of her art collection.
The Shelterers begins with Peggy and Samuel Beckett in a hotel room before following her into the streets and the practical concerns of protecting art. In an introductory note, Wilton Morley recalls meeting Beckett while managing a small London theatre in 1978, an encounter that supplies a personal connection to one of the novel’s central historical figures. The book brings art, conversation and impending upheaval together in an opening that places private lives against a gathering public crisis.
