If Only They'd Met

Borges wrote a famous book about imaginary Beings. Astonishingly no one has written of imaginary meetings between historical icons. If Queen Victoria had met Coco Chanel what would they have said? This book imagines a number of meetings between some iconic characters; so in its pages John F Kennedy takes Grace Kelly to dinner, P.G Wodehouse and Samuel Beckett discuss cricket - both were passionate about the game - Casanova discusses seduction with Marilyn Monroe - both gave every impression of being passionate but really they were passionately needy.
