Simone de Beauvoir, Chicago, 1950.  Nelson Algren’s friend, Chicago photographer Art Shay, had driven Beauvoir to a friend of his who had a bathroom.  He writes: “She had taken her bath.  It was while she fussed at the sink afterward that I had the sudden impulse.  She knew I took it, because she heard the click of my trusty wartime Leica Model F. ‘Naughty man,’ she said.”  Art Shay
