Description
Gertrude Stein's How to Write offers a unique perspective on the art and craft of writing. Written in her distinctive style, this collection of reflections is surprisingly accessible and easy to follow. Stein's characteristic humor shines through in chapter titles such as "Saving the Sentence" and "Regular Regularly in Narrative." Stein's experimental approach to language features elements like disconnectedness, refrain, and rhyme, which she seeks to balance with rhythm and a dislike of punctuation. For those unfamiliar with her work, this book provides an excellent introduction to her imaginative approach to language. Those interested in exploring Stein's unique literary voice will find How to Write a valuable resource.
