The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas is one of the defining literary memoirs of the twentieth century. Written by Gertrude Stein in the voice of her lifelong partner Alice B. Toklas, the book offers a vivid portrait of artistic life in Paris between the wars.

At 27 rue de Fleurus, Stein and Toklas hosted one of the most influential literary and artistic salons of the modernist era. Through anecdotes, observations, and sharply personal reflections, Stein captures encounters with figures such as Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Henri Matisse, and many others connected to the “Lost Generation.”
