...earlier work (Tender Buttons, The Making of Americans) Miss Stein apparently put down whatever irrelevancies popped into her head as she began to write, without explaining their connection and without suggesting why they occurred to her. But in Everybody's Autobiography, as in The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas, she is more considerate of her readers, explains as she leaps from subject to subject why she does so.

High spots are Jerry's discomfiting brush with jujitsu at the expert hands of the singing teacher's Japanese houseboy, the free-for-all that follows Mr. Smith...
...dramatic canvases of small Southern towns and cotton country, is now at work on a picture called Judgment Day which will contain no less than 500 figures. An obviously gifted draughtsman, McCrady gets his luminous effects by "under-painting," working in transparent color glazes on a warm, umber ground. Tender, fully imagined, though not profound, his Negro paintings appear as authentically melodious as the Kansas paintings of John Steuart Curry are authentically robust...
