Charmed Circle: Gertrude Stein and Company

Rating:
Summary: circle of friends and rivals of stein
Review: for anyone who loves to be introduced
from one book to another
from one writer to another
from one artist to another
from one person to another.
it's one big ball of yarn that was carefully untangled to present the reader with two ends of the string.

Summary: Gertrude, Alice and the gang!
Review: This book gives one of the best overviews of Gertrude Stein and her crowd! When it first came out almost 30 years ago, I read it and have been hooked on Stein and Alice and Picasso and Hemingway and Anderson and Wilder and on and on. Mellow provides very detailed information about the lives of all these greats and some have criticized him for his almost gossipy, "Entertainment Tonight" style. But what better way to feel a part of this circle of extraordinary people? Had more high school and college English and Art teachers used this book, there would be more readers and fans for this amazing artistic period! Hats off to the publisher for re-issuing this book!
