About this Item

First printing of this group protest against Gertrude Stein's characterization of the authors in her book AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF ALICE B. TOKLAS. An anti-Gertrude-Steinian pamphlet published as a supplement to Transition 1934-1935 (no. 23), in response to the recent publication of Stein's AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF ALICE B. TOKLAS, enumerating the several authors' protestations and grievances attendant thereto. Matisse occupies the greatest number of pages with magisterial huffiness, while M. Jolas takes more measured issue with certain of Stein's literary claims, and Andr� Salmon is above all concerned that Stein misunderstood him to be genuinely drunk on a certain occasion when he was merely pretending to be drunk "to frighten the American ladies." 8.75'' x 5.5''. Original stapled self-wrappers. 15 pages. Moderate foxing to covers and throughout. Minor edgewear.
