Tender buttons

"Tender Buttons" is one of the great Modern experiments in verse. Simultaneously considered to be a masterpiece of verbal Cubism, a modernist triumph, a spectacular failure, a collection of confusing gibberish, and an intentional hoax, the book is perhaps more often written about than actually read. Divided into three sections-"Objects," "Food," and "Rooms"--The book contains a series of descriptions that defy conventional syntax.

  • "A landmark of literary modernism, Tender Buttons has entertained some readers while baffling (or infuriating) others since its appearance in 1914. To some critics, Stein's bizarre “poetry represents an attempt to reproduce in language the disorienting effects that the Cubist artists of her Paris circle were then achieving on canvas."
  • "Stein's innovative writing emphasizes the sounds and rhythms rather than the sense of words. By departing from conventional meaning, grammar and syntax, she attempted to capture "moments of consciousness," independent of time and memory."
  • "Before becoming the patron of Lost Generation artists, Gertrude Stein established her reputation as an innovative author whose style was closer to painting than literature. Stein's strong influence on 20th-century literature is evident in this 1915 work of highly original prose rendered in thought-provoking experimental techniques."

  • "Tender Buttons: objects, food, rooms is the title of a 1914 book by Gertrude Stein consisting of word clusters chosen for their prosody, juxtaposed for the purpose of subverting commonplace dictionary meanings which Stein believed had largely lost their expressive force and ability to communicate. The words were re-defined using both their etymology and analysis of syllables by themselves."@en
  • "Première publication intégrale en langue française de ce recueil de poésies de Gertrude Stein."
