Giới thiệu về tác giả
Gertrude Stein (1874–1946) was an American novelist, poet, playwright, and art collector, widely acknowledged as a central figure in the modernist literary movement. Born in Allegheny, Pennsylvania, Stein moved to Paris in 1903, immersing herself in the avant-garde circles and hosting a famous salon that attracted leading artists and writers of the time. Her works often feature a stream-of-consciousness technique, an innovative use of repetition and playful approach to language, which influenced subsequent generations of writers. Stein’s writing was not only pioneering in its form but also in the way it challenged traditional narrative structures and the representation of gender and sexuality. Among her most notable works are ‘Three Lives’ (1909) and ‘Tender Buttons’ (1914), which showcase her radical syntactical experiments. Her voluminous ‘The Making of Americans’ (1925) is considered a modernist epic, displaying her unique literary style, which can be further explored in the compendium ‘GERTRUDE STEIN Premium Collection: 60+ Poems, Tales & Plays in One Volume’. While Stein’s work was controversial and often met with criticism for its obscurity and esoteric nature, her contribution to the literary avant-garde and her influence on the development of twentieth-century literature remains significant.
