This book makes a lot of sense. This book makes a lot of nonsense. this book is fun
to wit:

at Shakespeare.
At Shakespeare and company
typing at Shakespeare
typing in stereo
to type them to stereo type them I do
as if a company of lesbians typing at Shakespeare
a company of lesbians monkeying around
aping
those proverbial monkeys typing until Shakespeare appears
on the page in the page in a pageboy
(don't shake a spear at me, boy)
is what Stein is
not a Shakespeare peer but
a mover of peers and a shaker of pages

What she said was too two to
not be railroaded in your reading
toot toot
"Look, Boss, the train, the train!"
of thought
or so I thought she said
As plain as plane as plain as day. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0486231445, Paperback)

Not so much a "how-to" guide as an inspirational journey into the craft of writing by one of the 20th-century's most influential and unconventional literary figures. Also valuable as an entry into Stein's own writings. New preface and introduction by Patricia Meyerowitz.
