As I Was Saying

About this book

An indispensable companion to Gertrude Stein’s masterpiece, The Making of Americans.

One of the great works of 20th-century American fiction, Stein’s novel represents a peak of modernist literature: filled with repetition, overlapping and disintegrating plots, innumerable characters, and sentences stretching over pages. It is an immensely rewarding book, but also a potentially frustrating one.

At last, Cecilia Konchar Farr and Janie Sisson offer a reader’s guide—the first of its kind. As I Was Saying is proof that The Making of Americans is not unreadable as charged, and offers accessible entry to the experimental writing Stein valued and promoted most—the original modernist novel by the era’s most influential author.
