For Gertrude Stein and her companion Alice B. Toklas, life in Paris was based upon the rue de Fleurus and the Saturday evenings and `it was like a kaleidoscope slowly turning`.
Picasso was there with `his high whinnying spanish giggle`, as were Cezanne and Matisse, Hemingway and Fitzgerald. As Toklas put it – `The geniuses came and talked to Gertrude Stein and the wives sat with me`.
A light-hearted entertainment, this is in fact Gertrude Stein`s own autobiography and a roll-call of all the extraordinary painters and writers she met between 1903 and 1932. Audacious, sardonic and characteristically self-confident, this is a definitive account by the American in Paris.
