"Matisse Picasso and Gertrude Stein" by Gertrude Stein is a selection of experimental writings from the early 1900s that looks at who we are, how we connect, and what life is all about, using unusual language and repeating ideas. Stories and thoughts are mixed together, showing people and how they act with each other in a modern way, making you think hard about it. At the beginning, there's a smart talk about what it means to be alive and what it's like to be a baby, using a flow of thoughts to consider the importance of infancy, love, being a mother, and the strong feelings that come with growing up and having relationships. The stories give clues about the pasts of different couples and people, preparing us to learn more about how people connect and how complicated life can be, all told with a repeating, song-like style, pushing readers to think about their own lives and feelings compared to what's being said.
