Gertrude Stein (Critical Lives) Read Online Free PDF

at least a passing sketch of Stein and her Saturday night gatherings at the rue de Fleurus, and the real events are misted over in anecdote and vendetta. The problem for Stein’s readers is often how to free her from the facade of her own making. And there is a separate story of how the cult of Gertrude Stein was created, both by herself and her constellation of admirers.
    Jo Davidson, Gertrude Stein , 1922, bronze.
