Everybody's Autobiography is Stein at her most accessible and her most serious
In 1937, Gertrude Stein wrote a sequel to The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas, but this darker and more complex work was long misunderstood and neglected. An account of her experiences in the wake of having authored a bestseller, Everybody's Autobiography is as funny and engaging as The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas, but it is also a meditation on the meaning of success and identity in America.

Excited to hear from @secondshelfbks in my inbox today - and I did a doubletake when I saw that they have Stein's Everybody's Autobiography inscribed to Natalie Barney! “To Nathalie [sic], who does not have to go out to come in, and is in - Gertrude” https://t.co/DH6VQJUTBa
