Format:Paperback
One of the most engaging, stylistically intriguing and honest books I've ever read. Stein's writing is impatient, brusque, passionate and scarily insightful. She offers a real sense of Picasso - the man and the artist - as well as of Gertrude Stein herself. It also provides a tantalising glimpse into the wonderful, romantic life enjoyed by writers, artists and their cronies in early twentieth century Paris. Brilliant. If you care at all about art; life; Picasso; the notion of genius; Paris; indeed, creative or intellectual pursuits of any kind, then your life will be slightly less if you fail to read this book.

Format:Paperback
This is an excellent book for the art critic who likes to see images alongside the text. Gertrude Stein was well-placed to make an authorative assessment of Picasso and she writes with passion. Her comments upon the nature of genius are a little sweeping at times but this book is still extremely interesting.
