Gertrude Stein came from unassuming beginnings in Pennsylvania to
become a central figure in the birth and development of Modern Art.
She was friends with many of the leading painters and writers of
multiple generations, as well as being on the sidelines of several
of the 20th century's most profound events, namely both world wars.
Her writing evolved from juvenilia to dense, repetitive,
experimental, prose, and then finally to an autobiographical phase
near the end of her life. She waited many years for the mainstream
of society to recognize her genius, but when they did, her fame was
almost unmatched. This biography looks at the life, times and
career of Gertrude Stein.
Baseball players come from Cuba, Korea, Japan...India? India is the
least likely place anyone would expect a professional baseball
player to come from, but one man saw potential, and gave two men a
chance to prove themselves. After a strong display of athletics on
the Indian television show Million Dollar Arm, two pitchers (Rinku
Singh and Dinsesh Patel) were invited to America by the Pittsburg
Pirates. Some saw it as a publicity stunt, and maybe it was, but
these two men were able to prove they deserved that chance. This
book tells their inspiring journey. NOTE: This book is not endorsed
by Rinku Singh or Dinsesh Patel, and should be considered
unofficial.
