Why don't you give us a short reading now, Deborah? This is your narrator after failing to find the grave of Gertrude Stein in Père Lachaise Cemetery, deciding to cut her losses and eat her lunch.

Yes.

And, um, not only is she at Père Lachaise Cemetery, but it's raining, of course.

"I unwrapped the oozing baguette and devoured it there and then amongst the dead.

The living have appetites, desires, to drive us mad, to make us joyful, to make us cry, to lead us up the wrong path and down the right path.

The dead have done all that.

The dead, who can no longer feel the rain, had spent a lifetime creating themselves.

Mm.

Can you talk about that painting and seeing oneself through the eyes of someone else and accepting an image of yourself through the eyes of someone else?

Mm, absolutely.

I mean, interestingly-There is now a portrait of me in the National Portrait Gallery, and that is painted by Paul Hieber Percy.

And it's very interesting to look at that because it, it's not at all representational, but it feels very close to me.

So I understand how Gertrude felt about that painting.

She sat for Picasso about 80 times.

She's very regal in that painting.

A- at a time when queer relationships weren't as acceptable as they are now, obviously, she, she could take on a role that women couldn't before.
