 Gertrude
Stein : Writings 1932-1946 by
Gertrude Stein, Catharine R. Stimpson (Editor), Catherine
Stimpson (Editor)
"It was all so
nearly alike it must be different and it is different, it is
natural that if everything is used and there is a continuous
present and a beginning again and again if it is all so alike it
must be simply different and everything simply difference was the
natural way of creating it then." --Gertrude Stein on the
subject of similarity and difference.
Gertrude Stein achieved fame for her (often)
difficult, (frequently) inaccessible prose and her celebrated
circle of friends--a group that included Hemingway, Picasso,
Matisse, and F. Scott Fitzgerald. She became notorious for her
long-time love affair with Alice B. Toklas and for the questions
of possible collaboration that were raised in the wake of her
surviving the German occupation of Paris during World War II.
During the course of her lifetime and in the decades following her
death in 1946, her reputation as an artist has been alternately
dismissed and rehabilitated; now the Library of America has
canonized her in two volumes. Volume I collects Stein's prose,
poetry, lectures, and essays between the years 1903, when she
moved to Paris, and 1932. This second volume of Gertrude Stein
follows her literary career up until her death in 1946. From her
libretto, Doctor Faustus Lights the Lights, to her
meditation on the human condition, The Geographical History of
America, Stein's brilliance in all its variety is readily
available (if not always easily accessible) to her admirers.

Excerpt:
With philosophy and
psychology courses behind her, Gertrude decided on a career in
medicine and enrolled at Johns Hopkins University. She later
studied medicine in Europe and eventually dismissed the whole
idea. Wanderlust had captured her attention as she traveled
through Italy, Germany, and England...living for awhile with
brother Leo in London.
She returned to America to
live with friends in New York. It was here that she wrote her
first novel "Q.E.D.". It would, for some reason, be lost
for 30 years and not be published until 4 years after her death
under the title of "Things As They Are"...

Excerpt:
Gertude Stein was born in Pennsylvania to
Jewish-Bavarian parents.She was educated briefly in Europe and
then at Radcliffe. She studied psychology under William James, and
his influence runs through her work. Her life in Paris motivated
much of her experimental writing. Cezanne's and Matisse's painting
inspired the composition of her early Three Lives (1909)
while Picasso's cubism informs her astonishing prose-poem Tender
Buttons (1914). Her novel Q.E.D. (1903) published
posthumously as Things as They Are) explores the
jealousies and desires bewteen three young women. The Autobiography
of Alice B. Toklas (1932) records her relationship with
Alice...
