Table of ContentsReviews"""In 1964, at just 21, I secured a job as secretary and archivist in an artistic ménage at the heart of New York's cultural élite. I had been engaged by Ruth Ford and her husband, Zachary Scott, but Ruth's brother, Charles Henri Ford, was at the heart of this circle. I traveled across the pond on the Queen Elizabeth, and was provided with a studio flat at the Dakota Building. (This later became a storeroom for John Lennon and Yoko Ono!) This was a time when all manner of people called to speak or meet with Ruth, Zachary, or Charles: John Steinbeck, Edward James, Andy Warhol, Lauren Bacall, and Quentin Crisp come to mind. It was into this milieu that Indra Tamang was introduced by Charles. Indra was in his own way as remarkable as any of the celebrities he was to mix with. His latent artistic sensitivities were expressed in photography and his engaging personality. Indra is indeed an extraordinary person whose life story is as unlikely as a fairy story and a parable of abilities and service justly rewarded.""--Penelope Davidson, former secretary and archivist to Ruth Ford" Author InformationIndra Tamang was born in the Makwanpur District of SouthernNepal in 1953, and first came to New York City in 1974.
