Melanctha, a Black woman, is involved in an unhappy love affair. But to express these revelatory fictions in this manner is to miss everything, for Stein’s language of the first decade of the 20th century is still as fresh today as if the characters had just created the American tongue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRenowned poet Lyn Hejinian adds new perceptions about this work in her stunning Introduction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45536817315863,"sku":"9781892295330","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/files\/61gx28dGlLL._SL1412.jpg?v=1789945320","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/stein-gertrude-three-livepb","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
