Buttonholes the reader with its informality, its unhurried rhythms, deadpan humour and acerbic remarksFrances Spalding, Sunday TimesFor 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 lighthearted entertainment, this is in fact Gertrude Steins own autobiography and a rollcall of all the extraordinary painters and writers she met between 1903 and 1932. Audacious, sardonic and characteristically selfconfident, this is a definitive account by American in Paris.With an Introduction by Thomas Fensch
