Ida by Gertrude Stein


Ida by Gertrude Stein is difficult to tackle with words. While much of it captured the human condition/being a woman, much of it missed. Stein is so hard to like or dislike. So many of the sentences miss while the ones that strike, strike hard. It is tiring to read once you stop but enthralling while you're in it. Maybe I'm on too much cough medicine. Maybe Stein is elusive. Probably both.

4.5/5
