About the Author:
Gertrude Stein (1874 1946) was born in Pittsburgh to a prosperous German-Jewish family. She was educated in France and the United States, worked under the pioneering psychologist William James, and later studied medicine. With her brother Leo she was an important patron of the arts, acquiring works by many contemporary artists, most famously Picasso, while her home became a popular meeting place for writers and painters from Matisse to Hemingway. Her books include Three Lives, Tender Buttons, and The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas.
Steven Meyer is Associate Professor of English at Washington University in St. Louis.
From Library Journal:
With four titles back in print since January, Stein is the comeback kid of 1994. Though written in the 1920s, Thank You was first published posthumously in 1958, 12 years after the author's death. In typical Stein fashion, the book is more about the act of writing a novel than it is an actual novel.
