Geography and Plays by STEIN, Gertrude

Geography and Plays is a 1922 collection of Gertrude Steins word portraits, or stream-of-consciousness writings. These stream-of-consciousness experiments, rhythmical essays or portraits, were designed to evoke the excitingness of pure being and can be seen as literatures answer to Cubism, plasticity, and collage. Although the book has been described as a marvellous and painstaking achievement in setting down approximately 80,000 words which mean nothing at all, it is considered to be one of Steins seminal works.
