CHAPTER II. TEMPORAL AND SPATIAL MEETINGS OF THE GROUP 
After leaving their place in 1903, Gertrude and her brother Leo,shared their 
new household, which was close to the LuxembourgGarden on the Left Bank 
of Paris. It was a two-floor apartment situated in the interior courtyard at 27 rue 
de Fleurus. It would be the firstgenuine and permanent home for Stein since 
immigration fromOakland and one that she would stay in until 1938. Gertrude 
Stein’sapartment was the place that hosted numbers of literary gatherings 
andmeetings. Many writers, critics and artists became frequent guests for the 
Saturday night dinner parties. Soon this place got its popularity as a sanctuary for 
expatriate writers and artists.

When Leo and Gertrude Stein moved to this place, Leo started to buy 
paintings from different modern painters. By hanging them on the wall of their 
house, he made a humble art gallery which was attractive for artists and it turned 
into a kind of competition for them. While critiquing and discussing avant-guard 
works of art, Gertrude continued her literary works and soon their home was a 
place to learn how to see and not simply look. Michael Stein and his wife 
Sarah were also collecting some artworks in their house: “They too opened their 
doors on Saturdays, apparently receiving at earlier hour, whereas the salon at rue 
de fleurus started at nine and went on well into the night, enabling visitors who so 
chose to attend both” (Braun, 2011: 50).Our knowledge of Saturday evenings of 
Stein’s salon includesrecords of her, modern paintings and styles. After the 
war and in1920s,

The Autobiography of Alice B, Toklas presents a litany of the famous, 
infamous, unknown and upstart modernist figures who visited Gertrude and Alice 
at 27 rue de Fleurus from the 1910s to the 1930s. Attending one of Saturday 
evening parties at Stein’s salon served as an admission to the expatriate avant-
garde of Paris, and figures as diverse as Ernest Hemingway, Edith Sitwell and

Charles Demuth were invited to dine on Saturday evening which was the 
evening when everybody came, and indeed everybody did come. (2013: 148) 
Of other places which is worthy of attention as a gathering placefor writers 
and other prominent occasional visitors was Shakespeareand Company. Soon 
after the opening of this bookstore, many writerswere absorbed in it to converse 
with each other, check the latestliterary advances and borrow books from its 
owner, a member ofAmerican expatriates living in Paris (Beach, 1991). She 
also helped many of young lost writers to publish their books which soon became 
some of the most important works of the twentieth century literature. When no 
English speaking country showed any interest in publishing Joyce’s Ulysses 
because of its graphic language and unconventional style which was a violation 
to literary standards of its time, Beach (1991) asked Joyce for the honor of 
publishing his work. Hemingway (1964) was a frequent visitor of this bookstore 
and explains this place in his Moveable Feast as: A warm, cheerful place with a 
big stove in winter, tables and shelves of books, new books in the window, and 
photographs on the wall of famous writers both dead and living. Fitzgerald 
was also a visitor of this bookstore and he met one of the greatest writers of the 
time, Joyce, through Beach’s (1991) help and once again this bookstore.
