My Year In Paris With Gertrude Stein by Deborah Levy
A witty, elliptical fiction-memoir in which a young woman retreats to Paris and spends a year under the mischievous, often imagined tutelage of Gertrude Stein; through playful, fragmentary vignettes she confronts a failing relationship, questions of motherhood and her ambitions as a writer, while Stein’s aphorisms and eccentric domesticity prompt reflections on love, art, identity and the city’s layered past. The narrative blends elegy, comic observation and literary homage to examine how mentorship, memory and desire shape a creative life.
