About this listen
In this episode of Library Talks, Author Francesca Wade, joins Library Talks to discuss her new book Gertrude Stein: An Afterlife she is joined by fellow author Brenda Wineapple who's most recent book is national bestseller, Keeping the Faith: God, Democracy, and the Trial That Riveted a Nation.
Gertrude Stein's Paris salon is the stuff of literary legend. Many have tried to capture the spirit of the place that once entertained the likes of Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, Pablo Picasso, and Henri Matisse, but perhaps none as determinedly as Stein herself. Pushing beyond the conventions of literary biography to explore the nature of legacy and memory itself, Francesca Wade uncovers the origins of Stein's radical writing and reveals new depths to the storied relationship with Alice B. Toklas that made it possible.
