9/23
Not to be a harsh critic but it really isn’t very fun to me read selections like Gertrude Stein’s, “How to Write”. I understand that the entire purpose of her work was to create a deeper under layer that you can’t just read and understand but I truly don’t know if there is anyone who really understands anything of what she is saying but herself. I’m all for creating writings or poetry that have hidden meanings or create thoughts and different perspectives for people; but what good does it do creating work that only you can understand. If she is attempting to send a message or show that there is a point to her work then she has not done a very good job. I read her work and feel like I’m back in grade school reading nursery rhymes, repetitive gibberish just switching around the words to create new structure. I don’t mean to bash on her work because everyone has their own opinions, this work I guess just is not for me.
