The Autobiography Of Alice B Toklas

For Gertrude Stein and Her Companion Alice B. Toklas

Life in Paris was based upon the Rue de Fleurus and the Saturday evenings, and it was like a kaleidoscope slowly turning.

Presenças Notáveis

• Picasso was there with his high whinnying Spanish giggle.
• Cezanne and Matisse
• Hemingway and Fitzgerald

As Toklas put it, "The geniuses came and talked to Gertrude Stein and the wives sat with me."

Sobre o Livro

A light-hearted entertainment, this is in fact Gertrude Stein's own autobiography and a roll-call of all the extraordinary painters and writers she met between 1903 and 1932.

Audacious, sardonic and characteristically self-confident, this is a definitive account by the American in Paris.
