"A Transatlantic Love Affair" is about the strange, long-distance, affair, between macho writer Nelson Algren ("Man With The Golden Arm", "Walk On The Wild Side") and the founding mother of modern feminism Simone de Beauvoir ("The Second Sex"). I live across the road from the dilapidated little cottage Nelson bought, where she lived. No one lives there now, and I spend every spare moment just hanging there. She wrote about it to Sartre:
"Algren has bought a ravishing little house hidden in the trees, with a garden running down to a little lake. You cross the lake by boat, and on the other side is dunes, and the immense Lake Michigan, with a lovely, sandy, beach. I think it shall be really agreeable living here."
