The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas

The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas was published in 1933. Simply by looking at the author you can see that this isn't a typical autobiography. The novel was written by Gertrude Stein, Alice B. Toklas' lover. The imagined autobiography is very similar in style to Virginia Woolf's Orlando.

Gertrude Stein was considered a great avant guard writer, known for phrases "a rose is a rose is a rose is a rose" and her word cluster poems in Tender Buttons. She famously lived in Paris with many American expatriates in the 1920's like Ernest Hemingway, Sherwood Anderson, Paul Bowles, and F. Scott Fitzgerald. The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas has remained one of Stein's most read and accessible works.
