Abstract

Gertrude Stein’s memoirs of the modern art movement in Paris appear in several of her
works. In The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas, Stein becomes overtly vulnerable by
exposing her lifestyle choices and her biased opinions. Through Alice, the reader is
introduced to Cubist artists and their milieu. Furthermore, in writing The Autobiography,
Stein departs from the literary style she employed previously. She chooses a new genre
and, in a way, a new, momentous style. This article examines Stein’s technique of memory
writing, and its dynamics concerning the self, identity, and narration.
