Anyone wanting to know about Gertrude Stein's childhood, education, or what she liked for dinner is welcome to hop over to Wikipedia and find it out there. They'll also have a list of the famous writers and artists who attended her salon, and fill you in on her personal life in general. But I have focused here on the widespread difficulty people have in reading Stein: they simply don't know what to make of what she wrote. This phenomenon is so strong that even English literature majors in college have often never been required to read a single work by Stein. Stein is the most talked about and least read writer in the English language, a very curious phenomenon, and the reasons for that deserve looking at. | Anyone wanting to know about Gertrude Stein's childhood, education, or what she liked for dinner is welcome to hop over to Wikipedia and find it out there.

Goals of this article
Anyone wanting to know about Gertrude Stein's childhood, education, or what she liked for dinner is welcome to hop over to Wikipedia and find it out there. They'll also have a list of the famous writers and artists who attended her salon, and fill you in on her personal life in general. But I have focused here on the widespread difficulty people have in reading Stein: they simply don't know what to make of what she wrote. This phenomenon is so strong that even English literature majors in college have often never been required to read a single work by Stein. Stein is the most talked about and least read writer in the English language, a very curious phenomenon, and the reasons for that deserve looking at.
I think this article does need to include some of the other famous quotes attributed to Stein, including "A rose is a rose is a rose". And so it's not done yet. And anyone is welcome to contribute to the article or comment here. Just don't let's duplicate what already exists in Wikipedia. I could read that entire article in Wikipedia without even getting a clue about why she is important in English literature. If indeed she is.Pat Palmer (talk) 03:24, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
