2 stars because although it wasn’t for me and I didn’t particularly find the read engaging, I cannot take away from how individual this piece of writing is

I was confused most of the time but honestly the absurdity made me love it even more. Not rating as of right now because this is definitely a book I need to think about

I think what's interesting is that that was a very smooth ... a smoother and a lower. What I liked about it was that it kinda came, she's like, is like, "Oh. Yeah. This is happening right now."

Guys, I just don't jive with modernism.

As difficult to rate as it is difficult to read. I would not recommend embarking on this book without either a professor to study with or a working knowledge of Stein’s life and works (I had both). The way she uses language is truly incredible and beautiful much of the time, but I don’t always want to decipher every word in order to glean meaning from a poem. Perhaps the way it rolls off the tongue is enough.
