Both twins married \u003ci\u003eHarper's Bazaar \u003c\/i\u003ephotographers and socialized with a glittering crowd that included the supermodel Lisa Fonssagrives and the photographer Richard Avedon. Kino uses their careers to illuminate the lives of young women during this time, an early twentieth-century moment marked by proto-feminist thinking, excitement about photography's burgeoning creative potential, and the ferment of wartime New York. Toward the end of the 1940s, and moving into the early 1950s, conventionality took over, women were pushed back into the home, and the window of opportunity began to close. Kino renders this fleeting moment of possibility in gleaming multi-color, so that the reader cherishes its abundance, mourns its passing, and gains new appreciation for the talent that was fostered at its peak. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePulling back the curtain on an electric, creative time in New York's history, and rich with original research, \u003ci\u003eDouble Click \u003c\/i\u003eis cultural reportage and biography at its finest.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarol Kino's writing about art, artists, the art world, and contemporary culture has appeared in publications such as \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eWall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eAtlantic\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSlate\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTown \u0026amp; Country\u003c\/i\u003e, and just about every major art magazine.
