Seen through the eyes of her long-time partner, Alice B. Toklas, Gertrude Stein went about writing her autobiography. The result is a caricature of the famous author that allows her to be mildly egotistical while maintaining a large degree of irony about the whole process. The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas features anecdotes from the couple's life in Paris, where Stein would discuss intently with famous men like Picasso and Hemingway. Toklas would sit with the 'other' wives and stare adoringly at her famous partner. Once again, Stein lucidly demonstrates her ability to get into her character and fully understand the subject matter - even if the subject is as difficult to pin down as her own personality. | The Autobiography Of Alice B. Toklas by Gertrude Stein, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
