Selected Writings of Gertrude Stein (94 page)

This is the story of Ida, whose life consists mainly of resting, because she is always tired; of talking to herself; and of getting married, time after time.

“One might call it a short novel, a long poem, or a modern fairy tale; or a painting in words … Miss Stein’s book, however futuristic or surrealistic, is a rounded piece of writing, cleverly balanced in its own way and not to be torn apart.”
