2011 Reprint of 1914. "Tender Buttons" is the best known of Gertrude Stein's "hermetic" works. It is a small book separated into three sections - Food, Objects and Rooms each containing prose under subtitles. "Tender Buttons" is one of the great Modern experiments in verse. Simultaneously considered to be a masterpiece of verbal Cubism, a modernist triumph, a spectacular failure, a collection of confusing gibberish, and an intentional hoax, the book is perhaps more often written about than actually read. Divided into three sections-"Objects," "Food," and "Rooms"-the book contains a series of descriptions that defy conventional syntax.

About Gertrude Stein

Gertrude Stein (1874–1946) was an American modernist writer and art collector born in Allegheny, Pennsylvania. She studied psychology under William James at Radcliffe College and then medicine at Johns Hopkins University, leaving without a degree, and settled in Paris in 1903. There she and her partner, Alice B. Toklas, kept a salon frequented by Picasso, Matisse, Hemingway, and Fitzgerald. Her books include Three Lives (1909), Tender Buttons (1914), and The Making of Americans (1925). The phrase "the Lost Generation" is attributed to her.
