The Autobiography Of Alice B. Toklas Illustrated

"Originally published in 1933, Stein’s “autobiography” of her longtime lover Toklas and their life together in literary and artistic Paris in the first half of the 20th century remains as fascinatingly quirky now as it did when it was first published. Was there a writer or artist who didn’t make their way to Toklas and Stein’s salon? Picasso, Matisse, Hemingway, Ford Madox Ford … the list goes on. What makes this new edition so special are the terrific illustrations by Maira Kalman, whose colorful paintings capture the spirit of Stein’s idiosyncratic text (and prose) perfectly."
