Status Updates From The Autobiography of Alice ...

i like henry mcbride's attitude "the best that I can wish you, he always said, is to have no success" hmm maybe that's true

i'm not sure if i'll finish this as it's mostly anecdotes of famous artists. if you are into art history sure this would be riveting but if you're joe blow not so much

she has just published "three lives" and many newspapers have noticed it. she has now started writing "the making of americans"

so after the medical degree (did she drop out? it was vague "now that everything was over") she went to london "infinitely depressing", then back to america, then to paris. there's mention of a first manuscript that she's a bit shy about. chapter 5 has come but i will leave that for tomorrow

and now she's failing her medical degree because she's bored and not making an effort. i think perhaps when you have a trust fund it must make it difficult to do things you don't have a true interest in.

okay in chapter four it's delving into stein's background and upbringing. her anecdotes are all quite concise and it moves along quite quickly and feels like it's covering lots of ground. she's also good at leaving the dull parts out. i may finish reading this tomorrow with a solid effort

I’m so happy that I splurged on this BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFULLY illustrated edition.
