Synopsis
"Alice B. Toklas wrote hers and now everybody will write theirs." In 1933 Gertrude Stein's The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas skyrocketed to the top of the bestseller lists, and the author found herself a celebrity. Everybody's Autobiography is the very Steinian account of her soul-satisfying next five years in France, England, and America, where she made a triumphant tour of the country. Here are Stein's devastating analyses of some of the major figures of the day whom she met-among them Dashiell Hammett, Charlie Chaplin, Pablo Picasso, Marianne Moore, Mrs. Roosevelt, and Sherwood Anderson-and also of her own life and work.
