Episode 63 - "Three Lives" by Gertrude Stein
About this episode
The episode discusses Gertrude Stein's 'Three Lives' and its implications within Modernist literature.
This week, we're wrapping up our Modernist mini-season by reading "Three Lives" by Gertrude Stein. We discuss our relationships with Stein and other Lost Generation writers, Stein's tactile language, and why something so well written is also so painfully racist. As always, we hope that you enjoy the conversation.
