Em A Autobiografia de Alice B. Toklas, redigiu a autobiografia da sua amante, apenas para nela aparecer como personagem e narrar suas próprias experiências na terceira pessoa.
O conteúdo é apaixonante: um mergulho nos ambientes avant-garde da Paris anterior à Segunda Guerra Mundial, onde reinavam a flexibilidade dos costumes e a radicalização das idéias. A valorização do dólar permitia que artistas americanos levassem na França uma vida confortável, com uma liberdade impossível na América.
Gertrude, criadora do epíteto lost generation, fazia do seu apartamento da Rua de Fleures a embaixada de todos estes americanos - Hemingway, Scott Fitzgerald, Ezra Pound -, assim como um local de reunião para modernistas como Jean Cocteau, Juan Gris, Picasso, Matisse e Henri Rousseau.
