| book description |

â€˜I am fond of paintings, furniture, tapestry, houses and flowers and even vegetables and fruit trees. I like a view but I like to sit with my back turned to it.â€™ First published in 1933 at the height of Steinâ€™s popularity and literary prowess, The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas is one of the most avant-garde pieces of non-fiction of the last century. Taking as its form that of â€˜autobiographyâ€™, told through the eyes of her life partner Toklas, Steinâ€™s book provoked wild debate, and was pored over for its representations of the elite Paris art scene. Charting Toklasâ€™s early life in San Francisco, life in Paris with Stein and the war years spent in Spain, this is not only a wildly important piece of early LGBTQ+ literature, but, much like Woolfâ€™s Orlando, which perhaps inspired it, this is Modernism at its finest.
