How to Write

by Gertrude Stein

Book Overview

First published in 1931, this volume offers Gertrude Stein's reflections on the art and craft of writing. Although written in her distinctive experimental style, the book is remarkably accessible and easy to read. The modernist author's characteristic humor is borne out by some of the chapter titles, "Saving the Sentence," "Arthur a Grammar," "Regular Regularly in Narrative," and "Finally George a Vocabulary."

Wash you brain.. or . Wash you brain

For anybody who intents to write this is a valuable book. Stein breaks the stereotypes and makes you completely shattered. You really dont understand what this is all about. Dont give up.. Read again. Read what is written. Words and sentences start becoming virgin, not "secondary" as in expressing something, some sense. A tough book, but really useful and interesting. Even amusing it is.
