Synopsis
Gertrude Stein writes about herself from the point of view of her partner, Alice B. Toklas. In a tone that is at once conversational, revealing, witty, and gossipy, Stein exposes a generation of writers and artists who comprised her salon in Paris, including Matisse, Picasso, Hemingway, Ezra Pound, Fitzgerald, Louis Bromfield, Sherwood Anderson, and James Joyce.

Publisher's Note
Through the eyes of Miss Toklas, Gertrude Stein reveals both their lives before their meeting and during their years of companionship.

Industry reviews
"Choosing a style meant to register on every page the speaking voice of Alice Toklas and written from a view assumed to be Alice's, Gertrude put down the anecdotal history of their long life together....She wrote to be understood unequivocally, and what she wanted to be understood was, first and last, herself. The result was a spectacular best seller, 'The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas', which inevitably brought her into the lecture halls of the United States and imposed upon her name celebrity of such proportions that her eminence on the American scene was for a time shared only by gangsters, baseball players and movie stars."
John Malcom Brinnin 

"[Upon its publication,] Gertrude Stein stepped onto the platform of international celebrity, [romanticizing] the Paris she had shared with Leo while excluding him from her memory of it..."
"Sister Brother" - Brenda Wineapple
