Conclusion.
Hemingway frequented Stein's salon, but the two had an uneven relationship. They started out as close friends, with Hemingway admiring Stein as a mentor, however they later grew apart, particularly after Stein known as Hemingway "yellow" in The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas. Upon the birth of his son, Hemingway requested Stein to be the godmother of his child. While Stein has been credited with inventing the term "Lost Generation" for these whose defining second in time and coming of age had been World War I and its aftermath, there are at least three versions of the story that led to the phrase, two by Hemingway and one via Stein. During the summer season of 1931, Stein suggested the younger composer and creator Paul Bowles to go to Tangier, where she and Alice had vacationed.
The booklet of The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas lifted Gertrude Stein from literary obscurity to nearly instantaneous celebrity in the United States. Although famous with the American public, Stein acquired vast backlash from persons portrayed in her book. Eugene Jolas, editor of the avant-garde journal Transition, published a pamphlet titled Testimony towards Gertrude Stein in which artists such as Henri Matisse and Georges Braque expressed their objections to Stein's portrayal of the Parisian community of artists and intellectuals. Braque, in his response, criticized, "she had totally misunderstood cubism which she sees definitely in terms of personalities".
About Baby's final words. She said upon waking from a sleep—What is the question. And I did not answer questioning she was once no longer completely awakened. Then she said again—What is the question and before I ought to communicate she went on—If there is no question then there is no answer. Stein's biographers have naturally chosen the most efficient "in that case what is the question?" version. Strong narratives win out over susceptible ones when no impediment of factuality stands in their way. What Stein truly said stays unknown. That Toklas referred to the lesser version in a letter of 1953 is suggestive but now not conclusive. Stein named author and photographer Carl Van Vechten as her literary executor, and he helped to publish works of hers that remained unpublished at the time of her death.
