Reading Gertude Stein was not an easy task and i did not sit down and try to understand what she was saying. At points it was unbearable to read. When I first read it, I had no idea what was going on. I read it a few times but nothing worked. What was intersting was to hear it out loud the way she actually meant for us to hear it. Even though I found it interesting, I still didn’t enjoy hearing her voice as I was reading it to myself because her voice repeating itself over and over again is something like torture. I did not want to imitate her when I was writing. It was annoying enough that I had to listen to her but it would be pretty unbearable to make up my own writing nonesense where I repeat words over and over again that have no meaning.
I don’t see how anyone could find this type of writing unique or even enjoy reading it. There is no plot, no story, no message. It’s just random words that pour out of her mouth. I don’t see her as anything more than someone who tried something different to get attention. The only reason she’s getting attention from me is cause I am forced to sit and listen to her, then blog about how much I cant stand her. If I would have read her before english class I would have put the book down and thrown it in the trash. I wouldn’t try to decipher what she was saying, I woudn’t applaud her uniqueness. I would set the writing aside and never think about her again.
