"When I was a girl in Los Angeles," Barbara Guest writes, "the city became a haven for émigrés of World War II. People of the arts and film, experts in languages, arrived. The brothers Mann, the composers Mahler and Schoenberg. In the studios were Lang, Milestone, Lubitsch. Cameramen, story writers. They were people of experience and imagination. They were sad with a different kind of sadness. They did not know about our maturing under their guidance, abstract as it might be. It was an émigré climate we never lost. The Confetti Trees grew strange leaves and feathers."

Guest surprises again with a new work that is both fiction and short, poetically conceived scenarios for film. In her artful fantasias Guest bequeaths a necessary life to the act of film making."
