Two Lives by Janet Malcolm
'How had the pair of elderly Jewish lesbians survived the Nazis?' The pair, of course, is Gertrude Stein, the modernist master 'whose charm was as conspicuous as her fatness' and 'thin, plain, tense, sour' Alice B Toklas, the 'worker bee' who ministered to Stein's needs throughout their forty-year expatriate 'marriage'.
'Janet Malcolm is among the most intellectually provocative of authors.. able to turn epiphanies of perception into explosions of insight.' David Lehman, Boston Globe 'Not since Virginia Woolf has anyone thought so trenchantly about the strange art of biography.' Christopher Benfey
Janet Malcolm is the author of The Journalist and the Murderer, The Silent Woman: Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes, and Reading Chekhov, among other books. She writes for The New Yorker and The New York Review of Books and lives in New York City.
