In her provocative study of Gertrude Stein, G.F. Mitrano argues
that Stein's particular take on modernity has special relevance for
today. Tracing what she describes as Stein's deeply modernist story
of transformation from a nineteenth-century American woman to the
disquieting muse of avant-garde culture portrayed in Picasso's
famous portrait, Mitrano illuminates Stein's immense appetite for
life, her love of thinking, and her craving for recognition. Her
approach is innovative, combining the exegetical, the visual, and
the theoretical, to emphasize Stein's struggle for individuality
and public achievement as a profoundly historical struggle
involving personal choices linked, for example, to her sexuality or
the uses of her physical appearance. Stein continues to attract
attention, Mitrano contends, because she anticipates many
contemporary concerns, especially in the field of critical
thinking: from the question of subjectivity, to the status of the
writer as a laborer among many, to the meaning of fame and the
private/public divide.
