Tender Buttons by Gertrude Stein, Fiction, Literary, LGBT, Gay

The change of color is likely and a difference a very little difference is prepared. Sugar is not a vegetable. -- Gertrude Stein Gertrude Stein wrote many odd and peculiar texts and this work -- Tender Buttons -- is among the best known of them. Stein& 39;s wonderful and peculiar approach to the language seems to focus on sounds and rhythms rather than the sense of words. Abandoning the sense of things, it& 39;s said, she attempted to capture& 34;moments of consciousness,& 34; independent of time and memory. That may and may not be the case, but over the years, this and many similar works have been described by critics as a& 34;feminist reworking of patriarchal language.& 34; We don& 39;t know about that, but we do like the work, just as we like Stein.
