Comic, erotic, and richly imagined, Allan Stein follows the journey
of a compromised young teacher to Paris to uncover the sad history
of Gertrude Stein's troubled nephew Allan. Having been fired from
his job because of a sex scandal involving a student, the teacher
travels to Paris under an assumed name -- that of his best friend,
Herbert. In Paris, "Herbert" becomes enchanted by Stephane, a
fifteen-year-old boy. As he unravels the gilded but sad childhood
of Allan Stein, "Herbert" is haunted by memories of his own
boyhood, particularly his odd, flamboyant mother. Moving from the
late twentieth century back to the 1900s, effortlessly blending
fact and fiction, Allan Stein is a charged exploration of
eroticism, obsession, and identity.
