How I Read Gertrude Stein
by Lew Welch, Eric Paul Shaffer
Category: Literary Criticism

Robert Creeley says of this early study of Stein's writing: "Rarely indeed does one have a chance to witness such attention so finely attuned. Lew Welch's early take on his great mentor's primary works is testament to his own exceptional authority, as reader and writer alike. His insights are fundamental to our recognition of Stein as the bedrock genius she always was for him. He says it all here with such clarity".
