Stein’s most famous work; one of the richest and most irreverent biographies ever written. Largely to amuse herself, Gertrude Stein wrote this book in 1932.using as a sounding board her companion Miss Toklas, who had been with her for twenty-five years. The book is full of the most lucid and shapely anecdotes, told in a purer and more closely fitting prose.than even Gide or Hemingway have ever commanded. #1016R
