Synopsis "Gertrude Stein. An Afterlife"

SHORTLISTED FOR THE AMERICAN LIBRARY IN PARIS BOOK AWARD 2025'Strikingly accomplished . . . utterly compelling.' SUNDAY TIMES'A masterpiece of biography.' DAILY TELEGRAPH'A total joy to read.' SARAH BAKEWELL'I feel like I've been waiting for this book my whole life.' SHEILA HETIFrom the celebrated author of Square Haunting comes a biography as unconventional and surprising as the life it tells. 'Think of the Bible and Homer think of Shakespeare and think of me,' Stein wrote. Admirers called her a genius, sceptics a charlatan. Gertrude Stein remains one of the most confounding - and contested - writers of the twentieth century. The host of glamorous salons at 27 rue de Fleurus, brushing shoulders with Picasso and Hemingway in her long brown robe, Stein never ceased plotting her own legacy. She would be known as the literary innovator of her time. And her enigmatic partner, Alice B. Toklas, would make sure of it.
