Three Lives consists of three stories set in the fictional town of Bridgepoint: The Good Anna, Melanctha, and The Gentle Lena-straightforward portraits of women living in the early twentieth century. The Good Anna describes a demanding German house servant. Melanctha explores the love affair of an African-American woman. The Gentle Lena narrates the fate of a serene German maid. Since its initial publication, Three Lives has caused much controversy, due to the unabashedly racist remarks and stereotypical representations of African Americans in her story, Melanctha. Yet these are daring and remarkable prose experiments-that reflect Gertrude Stein's revolt against the standard narrative style of realism. As she composed these works, Stein sought to emulate the aesthetic of such innovative painters as Cezanne, Picasso, and Matisse. She was rejecting the more traditionally literary emphasis on social order and plot, replacing them with a focus on language, tone, and description. Despite its racist depiction of African Americans, Three Lives is a simple yet stunning view of the lives of three distinct women that catapulted Stein to the forefront of the influential American Modernist movement, which inspired such later novelists as Ernest Hemingway and Jack Kerouac. "Tender Buttons is a dazzling work that rewards close study and requires a willingness to let go of the need for concrete, literal storytelling." -Christopher Luna, Rain Taxi Review of Books "Tender Buttons" (The title Tender Buttons, of course, refers to a woman's nipples), is one of the great Modern experiments in verse, a small book separated into three sections: Food, Objects, and Rooms-each containing prose under subtitles; a series of descriptions defying conventional syntax. Before becoming the patron of Lost Generation artists, Gertrude Stein established her reputation as an innovative author whose style was closer to painting than literature.

Editor Joan Retallack has chosen complete texts or selections that lend themselves to a clarified vision of Stein's oeuvre. In her brilliant introduction, Retallack provides the historical and biographical context for Stein's lifelong project of composing a 'continuous present,' an effort which parallels many of the most important technological and scientific developments of her era - from moving pictures to Einstein's revision of our understanding of space and time.Retallack also addresses persistent questions about Stein's work and the best way to read it in our contemporary moment. In suggesting a performative 'reading poesis' for these works, Retallack follows Stein's dictum by arguing that to actively experience the work is to enjoy it, and to enjoy it is to understand it.
