Overview

Fiction. "The importance of USEFUL KNOWLEDGE is that it is one of the few Gertrude Stein satirical works; not political so much as cultural, she spoofs American advertising memorably in 'Business in Baltimore' in such passages as 'more and better and better and best.,' which, if you read it aloud, is sure to reduce any audience to dangerous amounts of laughter" -Dick Higgins.
