First published in 1909, Stein's work Tender Buttons is a modernist
classic and a wonderful example of her thought-provoking and highly
original style of writing.
Gertrude Stein (1874-1946) was an American poet, novelist, art
collector, and playwright who famously hosted a Paris salon frequented
by the likes of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Pablo Picasso, and Ernest
Hemingway. Before she was a patron to "The Lost Generation" artists,
Stein was an esteemed author who influenced many 20th-century writers
with her innovative and experimental prose.
Other notable works by this author include: Three Lives (1909), White
Wines (1913), and An Exercise in Analysis (1917).
Featuring an introduction by Sherwood Anderson, this volume is an
essential read for fans of Gertrude Stein's work and those with an
interest in Jazz Age literature.
