In this collection, readers will rediscover Gertrude Stein as the
bearer of a joyfully radical literary vision. A bold experimenter,
her writing sparks with vitality, relishing in rhythm, repetition,
sound and colour in its central vision: to prise apart language and
association and find thrilling new ways to express the true essence
of her subject with charming joie de vivre Stein considered her
shorter writings to be the truest expressions of her enrapturing
style. Her fascination with people and personalities can be located
in expressive portraits of close friends such as Pablo Picasso,
Henri Matisse and Juan Gris, whilst her decades-long relationship
with Alice B. Toklas is immortalised with shimmering eroticism.
There are also playful meditations on her unique writing process,
conveying her serious delight in meddling with conventions of
grammar and composition.
