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
Largely to amuse herself, Gertrude Stein wrote this book in 1932..using as a sounding board her companion Miss Toklas, who had been with her for twenty-five years. The book is full of the most lucid and shapely anecdotes, told in a purer and more closely fitting prose...than even Gide or Hemingway have ever commanded.
Stein's most famous work; one of the richest and most irreverent biographies ever written.

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..."
