Product Description
Off and on, during the entire period they were together, Gertrude and Alice wrote each other little love notes.Calling her "wifey" and most often addressing her as "baby precious," Stein scribbled her love for Toklas in quick moments of unselfconscious desire, notes that are small but significant testimonies to her long-lived love.And on occasion, Toklas penned or typed letters back to her "husband."These notes are brief, mantra-like enticements: tender, beseeching, caring and confessing, funny and game, sexually-charged and sincere, quotidian and queer, but always passionate.Each one marks the pleasures--infrequently, the pains--of married love.When fitted together, the notes create a tantalizing mosaic of a marriage between two women that was built to last.
