"In 1913 Marcel Duchamp's Nude Descending a Staircase exploded through the American art world. This is the story of how he followed the painting to New York two years later, enchanted the Arensberg salon, and--almost incidentally--changed art forever. Many people (of both sexes) were in love with Duchamp. Henri-Pierre Rochae and Beatrice Wood were among them; they were also, briefly, and (for her) life-changingly, in love with each other. Both kept daily diaries, which give an intimate picture of the events of those years. Spellbound by Marcel follows Duchamp, Rochae, and Beatrice as they traverse the twentieth century"--
