Come enjoy the afternoon with us! It's free and open to the public.
I am surrounded on all sides by strangers, strung along a continuously unraveling line that keeps them above the water's surface. It is a line that I cannot possibly hold onto. GertrudeStein knows it, and she has cast me in there anyway ...
A Vietnamese immigrant has been cooking for Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas in their quirky house in Paris. When the couple leaves for the U.S., the cook, not sure what to do with himself, starts to tell his fascinating, sometimes painful story.
The French language frustrates him on the streets of Paris, but his internal voice is beautiful, if not always reliable.
