Paris France by Gertrude Stein

Paris France

Personal Recollections (Peter Owen Modern Classic)

Gertrude Stein

Stein’s incomparable, impressionistic memoir of Paris. Published in 1940, on the day that Paris fell to the Germans, Paris France blends Stein’s childhood memories of Paris with trenchant observations about everything French. It is a witty fricassee of food and fashion, pets and painters, musicians, friends, and artists, served up with a healthy garnish of ‘Steinien’ humor and self-indulgence. For readers who have previously considered Gertrude Stein to be a difficult or even unreadable author, Paris France provides a delightful window on her personal and unique world.
