Postscript summary
Setting out to ‘kill the nineteenth century’ with her unconventional life and experimental writing, Gertrude Stein (1874–1946) helped to shape the European avant-garde. This selection of 26 short pieces includes love stories, dramatic scenes and pen-portraits of her friends Matisse and Picasso, which were distributed at the first American showing of their work.
Product information
Full publisher description
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.
