A review by mastro1022
Tender Buttons by Gertrude Stein

3.0

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.
