Annotation
Discusses Steward’s close relationship with Stein and Alice B. Toklas, arguing that his loving portrayal of them in his two detective novels, Murder Is Murder Is Murder (1985) and The Caravaggio Shawl (1989), served in part as a correction to Hemingway’s homophobic and distorted representation of their relationship in A Moveable Feast.
