Reviews
"Radiant is an apt name for this novel that illuminates subjects ranging from history to science and most especially, the lives and friendship of Loie Fuller and Marie Curie, two women who refused to let their genius and passion be thwarted by societal norms. An engaging, enlightening, and thoroughly entertaining read."-- Lorna Landvik, bestselling author of Chronicles of a Radical Hag (with Recipes), "Liz Heinecke's Radiant is a fascinating, exhaustively researched story about two women, scientist Marie Curie, and dancer Loie Fuller at the beginning of the 20th century in Paris. Both women broke through impossibly thick glass ceilings to become celebrated innovators. The two meet and an unlikely friendship is forged by both women's fascination with the possibilities of light. Radiant reads like a novel that you can't put down due to Heinecke's impressive prose and a gift for storytelling. I love this book." -- Laurie Lindeen, essayist and author of Petal Pusher, "Heinecke beautifully explores the inspiring true story of the friendship between dancer Loie Fuller and scientist Marie Curie."-- E! Online, "In her imaginative and immersive dual biography Radiant: The Dancer, the Scientist, and a Friendship Forged in Light , Minneapolis writer Liz Heinecke explores the unexpected friendship that arises between these two iconic women. . . [A] true account that reads as fluidly as a novel."-- Minneapolis Star Tribune, "Liz Heinecke has captured [Curie and Fuller's] lives, their times, and their friendship in a beautifully crafted work of creative nonfiction as gripping as any novel of Belle Epoch Paris."-- New York Journal of Books, "Heinecke displays a poet's understanding of the ways swift ascent can prefigure ultimate destruction. . .The most enduring message of Radiant , besides its tribute to the generative power of friendship, is that light can blind as surely as it can clarify."-- Undark, "Radiant is an uplifting story of discovery and friendship. Grounded in scientific and historical research, Liz Heinecke's novel evokes the brilliance of Paris in the Belle Époque and delivers a timely reminder that even frustrated hope can produce enduring fulfillment."-- Michael Joseph Gross, contributing editor, Vanity Fair, "Written at the vibrant intersection of science and art, Radiant details the fascinating lives of Marie Curie and Loïe Fuller. Both of these extraordinary women pursued their research with creativity and persistence, imagining radical new possibilities in their respective fields of chemistry and dance. Liz Heinecke's delightful book stages the story of their lively friendship within the proscenium frame of Belle Époque Paris." -- Ann Cooper Albright, author of Traces of Light: Absence and Presence in the Work of Loïe Fuller, "Those already familiar with Marie Curie's biography and discoveries will find added facets of psychological and scientific inspection enhance this approach to their friendship, and will find the intersection of biography and technology to be intriguing. Their story requires no prior familiarity with either individual to prove satisfying and thoroughly engrossing." -- Donovan Literary Services, "How wonderful that science populariser Liz Heinecke has commendably combined art with science in this engrossing story of two determined and indefatigable women. . . [A]n inspiring story that revives the memory of how barriers can be broken by intrepid individuals."-- San Francisco Book Review
Synopsis
Part hidden history, part love letter to creative innovation, this is the "imaginative and immersive" ( The Star Tribune ) true story of an unlikely friendship between a dancer, Loie Fuller, and a scientist, Marie Curie, brought together by an illuminating discovery. At the turn of the century, Paris was a hotbed of creativity. Technology boomed, delivering to the world electric light, the automobile, and new ways to treat disease, while imagination blossomed, creating Art Nouveau, motion pictures, and modernist literature. A pivotal figure during this time, yet largely forgotten today, Loie Fuller was an American performance artist who became a living symbol of the Art Nouveau movement with her hypnotic dances and stunning theatrical effects. Credited today as the pioneer of modern dance, she was perennially broke, never took no for an answer, spent most of her life with a female partner, and never questioned her drive. She was a visionary, a renegade, and a loyal friend. In the early 1900s, she heard about Marie Curie's discovery of a glowing blue element and dreamed of using it to dazzle audiences on stage. While Loie's dream wouldn't be realized, her connection with Marie and their shared fascination with radium endured. Radiant is the true story of Marie Curie and Loie Fuller, two revolutionary women drawn together at the dawn of a new era by a singular discovery, and the lifelong friendship that grew out of their shared passion for enlightenment.
