Maureen Corrigan on Patricia Volk’s new memoir Shocked:

I cannot tell you, apart from its other virtues, how much fun this memoir is to read. Volk has caught something of Schiaparelli’s surrealist approach to art: her narrative structure is exuberantly loopy and the gorgeous color illustrations and photos scattered throughout the book don’t just supplement the text, but extend it outward, like a Tumblr. The in-joke photo here of Wallis Simpson posing in Schiaparelli’s “lobster dress” is alone worth the price of this book.
