Francesca Wade & Lara Pawson: On Gertrude Stein

Francesca Wade’s biography, Gertrude Stein: An Afterlife, follows on from her acclaimed Square Haunting (Faber, 2020) to present a portrait of one of 20th century modernism’s most rowdy and confounding geniuses, in what Lisa Appignanesi has described as both a ‘discerning literary biography and a page-turning whodunit’.

Wade was joined by Lara Pawson, author of Spent Light (CB Editions, 2024).
