{"product_id":"9781646033867","title":"Alice B. Toklas is Missing","description":"Jazz-age Paris was the center of the artistic and literary world, and the center of the center was Gertrude Stein' s salon, where the famous and aspiring creative talents gathered to gawk at Stein' s Picassos and vie for status. Young Midwesterner Ida Caine arrives in Paris with her husband Teddy, a would-be Hemingway who thinks he can adventure first and write later. When Teddy falls in with the Stein set, he brings Ida to the salon, where she is shunted into a corner with the wives of famous men. She burns with resentment, and wonders if she can ever develop into a real artist herself. A few days later, Gertrude Stein' s partner Alice B. Toklas vanishes. Stein calls upon Teddy to investigate. Soon after, he vanishes. Forced to seek out her missing husband, Ida follows his trail through a milieu including strange Surrealist rituals, Tarot card readings, and the catacombs beneath the city. She falls in with a young American poet, T.S. Eliot. An unlikely passion grows while they seek answers to the shocking disappearances.","brand":"Regal House Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46375236010225,"sku":"9781646033867","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781646033867_p0.jpg?v=1765445840","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781646033867","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
