Description
Gertrude Stein's most well-known work, The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas, is presented in an illustrated edition featuring vibrant and fanciful images by artist Maira Kalman. This biography, written in the style and voice of Stein's life partner, Alice B. Toklas, recounts their vibrant and literary life among the Parisian avant-garde. The book begins with Alice's initial move to France in 1907, where she meets Gertrude, sparking a relationship that lasts for nearly four decades. The narrative opens doors to the prominent salons they held at rue de Fleurus, hosting fellow expatriate writers and artists of the time. Stein's wit and humor are complemented by Kalman's whimsical illustrations, bringing this glittering Parisian world to life. This illustrated edition invites readers to experience the book in a new way, offering a fresh perspective on Stein and Toklas's exciting lives and intrigues.
