First published in 1909, Stein's work Tender Buttons is a modernist classic and a wonderful example of her thought-provoking and highly original style of writing.

Gertrude Stein (1874-1946) was an American poet, novelist, art collector, and playwright who famously hosted a Paris salon frequented by the likes of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Pablo Picasso, and Ernest Hemingway. Before she was a patron to "The Lost Generation" artists, Stein was an esteemed author who influenced many 20th-century writers with her innovative and experimental prose.

Other notable works by this author include: Three Lives (1909), White Wines (1913), and An Exercise in Analysis (1917).

Featuring an introduction by Sherwood Anderson, this volume is an essential read for fans of Gertrude Stein's work and those with an interest in Jazz Age literature.
