Every Day Is To-Day: Essential Writings

Gertrude Stein considered her shorter writings to be the truest expression of her style. This collection presents a uniquely accessible introduction to an often-misunderstood writer. 

Word portraits of close friends including Pablo Picasso, Henry Matisse and Juan Gris reveal a new dimension to their subjects. Moments of shimmering eroticism sparkle, gesturing towards Stein's decades-long relationship with Alice B. Toklas. Ordinary objects are reimagined, becoming charged with new vitality. Stein's writing relishes in rhythm, repetition, sound and colour, as her joyful, radical literary vision dances across the page.
