Beschreibung

<p><b>'Buttonholes the reader with its informality, its unhurried rhythms, deadpan humour and acerbic remarks'<br>Frances Spalding, </b><i><b>Sunday Times</b><br></i><br>For Gertrude Stein and her wife 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'. Picasso was there with 'his high whinnying Spanish giggle', as were Cezanne and Matisse, Hemingway and Fitzgerald. As Toklas put it - 'The geniuses came and talked to Gertrude Stein and the wives sat with me'. 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 American in Paris.<br><br>With an Introduction by Thomas Fensch</p>
