Geography And Plays

Geography and Plays

by Gertrude Stein

"Geography and Plays" is a collection of Gertrude Stein's experimental writings, first published in 1922. The book is composed of a series of "word portraits" or stream-of-consciousness essays, which explore the nature of language, identity, and consciousness. Stein's writing in "Geography and Plays" is characterized by its fragmented syntax, unconventional grammar, and lack of traditional narrative structure. The book has been praised for its innovative use of language and its exploration of the subconscious mind, but it has also been criticized for its obscurity and lack of accessibility.
