Published in 1909 and first published in Russian translation, Gertrude Stein's famous book marked the beginning of an era of bold experiments with literary form and language. The stories of three Bridgepoint women are inspired by modernist artists. In the non-linear narrative of Good Anne, the reader will notice the influence of Cezanne, Stein's friendship with Picasso inspired the free syntax and open sexuality of the story of Melanctha, the influence of Matisse is palpable in Quiet Lena. Gertrude Stein's books are works not only of literature, but also of painting, words, like paints, they fall on a canvas, all elements of which are equal.
