Geography and Plays (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | Gertrude Stein | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

"Here is one artist who has been able to accept ridicule, who has even foregone the privilege of writing the Great American Novel, uplifting our English-speaking stage and wearing the bays of the great poets, to go live among the little housekeeping words, the swaggering bullying street-corner words, and all the other forgotten and neglected citizens of the sacred and half-forgotten city."-Sherwood Anderson. "More and more clearly, Stein is being seen for what she is: one of the towering figures of modernism and of experiments with language and literary genre. Geography and Plays is a central text in Stein's oeuvre and in literary modernism."-Catharine R. Stimpson. "Geography and Plays is a cornucopia of genre: there are poems, stories, plays, portraits, and perhaps 'essays'. In short, the collection is a one-volume introduction to the most boldly experimental period in the work of the most boldly experimental American writer of the twentieth century."-Cyrena N. Pondrom.
