Tender Buttons (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

by Gertrude Stein

Overview

A landmark of literary modernism, Tender Buttons has entertained some readers while baffling (or infuriating) others since its appearance in 1914. To some critics, Stein’s bizarre “poetry” represents an attempt to reproduce in language the disorienting effects that the Cubist artists of her Paris circle were then achieving on canvas.
