"Spontaneous, playful, and decidedly physical, the love notes between Gertrude and Alice offer delight after delight. They afford us a privileged, close look at the mutual desire and devotion of the two most famous lesbians of the 20th century. Kay Turner's insightful introduction illuminates the genius of their reinvention of marriage and makes clear how deeply rooted Stein's body of writing is in the steady daily intimacy of their shared life. A gem of a book." (Joan Larkin, author of Cold River and editor of A Woman Like That)
"Baby Precious gleams from the stunning title to the final photo of Gertrude, Alice, Basket the poodle, and Pepe the chihuahua. Reflective of one of the 20th century's great love stories, the collection makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the relation between the aesthetic and the erotic, the literary and the quotidian, in the particular context of lesbian self-fashioning." (Elizabeth Meese, author of Sem Erotics and Extensions)
"Gertrude Stein -that progenitor of modernism and master of the elliptical-has been, for almost a century, a writer of endless surprise and astonishment. The resonance and meaning embedded in her seemingly guileless wordplay (which is anything "but" guileless) still startles and astounds. Brimming with love and cunning, wit and affection Baby Precious Always Shines is Stein at her most resplendently transgressive and splendid." (Michael Bronski, author of The Pleasure Principle: Sex, Backlash and the Struggle for Gay Freedom)
"The love notes between Stein and Toklas, collected here by Kay Turner for the first time, offer is a glimpse into the mysteries, from the glorious to the mundane, of the Stein-Toklas marriage. The "blessed wifey" and her "little hubby" exchange kisses, caesars and cows, and they make and remake a love that speaks its name over and over again, never tiring of the repetition. Baby Precious provides a new bottom line on Stein scholarship. This slim volume will keep Stein enthusiasts busy for years." (Judith Halberstam, author of The Drag King Book and Female Masculinity)
