Paperback. An excellent introduction to the unique voice of Gertrude Stein - as well as a treat for her fans - this 1931 book presents the modernist author's thoughts on the art and craft of writing. Stein's experimental style reflects her love of refrain and rhyme, her dismissal of the conventional significance of words, and an imaginative approach to language that continues to inspire writers and readers. AUTHOR: "America is my country," declared expatriate Gertrude Stein (18791946), "but Paris is my hometown." In addition to writing novels, stories, plays, and poems, Stein conducted a Parisian salon that was frequented by an international array of avant-garde artists and authors. An excellent introduction to the unique voice of Gertrude Stein and a treat for her fans, this 1931 book presents the modernist author's thoughts on the art and craft of writing.

Those who are unfamiliar with her Stein's work or have found it difficult to understand will discover in How to Write an excellent entrée to a unique literary voice and an imaginative approach to language that continues to inspire writers and readers.
