Book Reviews of Gertrude Stein: In Words and Pictures
Book Review: A beautiful book
Summary: 5 Stars
Stendahl's photographic bio of Gertrude Stein includes a treasure trove of photos of Gertrude Stein and her partner Alice Toklas, as well as many of their friends and acquaintances. Most of the texts are from Gertrude Stein's writings, though there are a number from friends, enemies, and even news clippings. Stendahl has managed to merge them all into a seamless, flawless whole that functions as a biography leading us from Gertrude Stein's childhood to her death.
After finishing "Gertrude Stein: In Words and Pictures," for the first time I feel as though I actually knew her, and I'm very pleased to have made her acquaintance. She comes across as a whole human being, strengths and weaknesses together, with penetrating insight, a great sense of irony and humor, and a warmth I would have like to have known first-hand. As a bonus, I feel I now understand what she was trying to achieve with her unique and controversial writing style.
To apply my ultimate test to any book, yes, I was sorry when it ended and look forward to reading it all over again. And again.
Summary of Gertrude Stein: In Words and Pictures
