A review by jbrugge
Two Lives: Gertrude and Alice by Janet Malcolm

3.0

I picked this up because I heard read a good review of a new book by Janet Malcolm and stumbled on this one at the library just before vacation. I was hoping it would teach me something about Gertrude Stein as someone who knew nothing, but it assumed a basic familiarity with her style and her notoriety. Still it was very good writing and I learned things, but it wasn’t enthralling.
