"Simple material, but written with a directness that gives it immense force. In fact, that simplicity and directness, both in style and technique, are what make the book."This might be one of the most accurate statements I've ever seen in a dust jacket. Unfortunately, what's missing is a plot, so this is one of those books that should be read as a writer's workshop exercise, and not as literature of leisure. While I admire Stein's style and technique, there's no story here, so I stopped on page 70 (of 279).
** of the 1933 The New Classics, New Directions*** edition.
