Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Gertrude Stein was at heart an artists writer. She became wellknown to the literary mainstream with "The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas," and was at her most accessible with her speech and autobiographical writing of her later years. It is with collections such as "Geography and Plays," however, that Stein showcased the possibilities of the English language to transcend beyond literature into the realm of modern art. The page was her canvas, and as the Cubist painters of her time treated their subjects, Stein reassembled words in an abstracted form to present them in a greater context, a context untethered by a singular viewpoint. This modern edition contains a massive collection of over 50 different works by Gertrude Stein. In addition to the daring and cheeky "Miss Furr and Miss Skeene," this revitalized edition contains many of her most radical and influential works. There is "Ada," one of Steins many word portraits of famous personages, this one written of Alice B. Toklas. There is "Every Afternoon: A Dialogue," a conversation between two unnamed people highlighting the writers playful, often humorous style. Also included is "Sacred Emily," in which the reader finds Steins most often quoted line, Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose," a line that employs her trademark use of repetitive language to express that things are what they are, but at the same time, so much more. In Steins view, the simple naming of a thing already invokes the imagery and emotions associated with itthe writer does not need to manipulate the word any further.
