Список книг автора Gertrude SteinDünya Yuvarlaktır
"Rose adında küçük bir kız. Kuzeni Willie'nin aksine acabalardan kurtulamıyor bir türlü. Durmadan dönen yuvarlak dünya içinde ne kendisini bulabiliyor ne de yerini. Bereket dağlar var. Onlar her şeyi durduracak kadar yüksek. Yükleniyor mavi iskemlesini ve koyabileceği yer arayışıyla gözüne kestirdiği dağın zirvesine başlıyor tırmanmaya. Dünya Yuvarlaktır epik bir yolculuk hikâyesi. Kelimelerin kaygan zemininde tümcelerin müstakilliğini ve anlamların sabitesini yitirdiği ardı kesilmez bir devingenlik içinde anlatısını kuran Gertrude Stein, okuru biteviye tınlayan varoluşsal bir kaygının hazzını ve dehşetini aynı anda duymaya çağırıyor. «„Shakespeare ne demişti, adı değişse bile gül yine aynı güzellikte kokar, kokar mı. Hayır, kokmaz.“» İşte bu itiraz, Rose'u durmadan düşünmeye iten benzer bir sorguyla maceramızın da ateşleyicisi oluyor: «„Adı Rose olmasaydı Rose olur muydu.“»"

Autobiografie von Alice B.Toklas
In der 1933 erschienenen Autobiografie von Alice B. Toklas schildert Gertrude Stein ihr Leben aus Sicht ihrer langjährigen Gefährtin, Muse und Sekretärin Alice Babette Toklas – ein Kunstgriff, um offener über sich selbst erzählen zu können. Im Mittelpunkt stehen ihre zahlreichen Begegnungen und Freundschaften mit einigen der berühmtesten Künstler und Intellektuellen der Zeit: Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Henri Matisse, Djuna Barnes, Guillaume Apollinaire, Marie Laurencin, Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Man Ray, Tristan Tzara und viele andere trafen sich samstagabends in Steins Salon in der Rue de Fleurus 27. Das Werk, verfasst in Steins unverwechselbarem Stil, ist eine faszinierende Chronik der Pariser Avantgarde, voller kurioser kleiner Geschichten und Anekdoten, die nach Cesare Pavese «so unwahrscheinlich sind, dass sie zweifellos wahr sein müssen, und so wahrscheinlich, dass sie wie erfunden wirken … In diesem Spiel mit Spiegelungen liegt das köstliche Geheimnis dieser Prosa.» In ihrer Modernität und Lebendigkeit lässt sich diese Prosa in der Übersetzung von Roseli und Saskia Bontjes van Beek bis heute bestens nachvollziehen.

Tender Buttons – Objects, Food, Rooms (Verse and Prose Collection)
Tender Buttons is the best known of Gertrude Stein's «hermetic» works. It consists of three sections titled «Objects», «Food», and «Rooms», which are further consisting of multiple poems covering the everyday mundane. Stein's experimental use of language renders the poems unorthodox and their subjects unfamiliar. Its first poem, «A Carafe, That Is a Blind Glass», is arguably the most famous, and is often cited as one of the quintessential works of Cubist literature. Rather than using conventional syntax, Stein experiments with alternative grammar to emphasize the role of rhythm and sound in an object's «moment of consciousness». Gertrude Stein (1874-1946) was an American novelist, poet, playwright and art collector, best known for Three Lives, The Making of Americans and Tender Buttons. Stein moved to Paris in 1903, and made France her home for the remainder of her life. Picasso and Cubism were an important influence on Stein's writing. Her works are compared to James Joyce's Ulysses and to Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time.
