Toklas's reputed horn in this smart, hilarious, sexy, and unexpectedly poignant detective novel\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas are the most famous married couple of Modernism, icons of literary queer history. But what if Alice had a secret? What if, underneath her thickly cultivated hair and low-brimmed hats, there was something sinister growing? What if, as Picasso claimed, Alice B. Toklas really did have a horn? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is what the mysterious voice on the phone is asking. And our narrator, a newly registered private investigator, is in no position to hang up--she recently walked away from an exploitative job in academia, is bereaved following the sudden death of her partner, and has a kid to support. The case sounds ridiculous, but she needs the money. \u003ci\u003eOkay\u003c\/i\u003e, she tells the voice. \u003ci\u003eI'll find the horn\u003c\/i\u003e. The job takes her from London to Paris to San Francisco, from a Hemingway's kitchen table to a Beat-inspired hotel run by an investment bank.
