Local Oxfam has a copy of Making of the Americans and I'm like I dunno.

It's a singular novel, but I don't think I could have finished it without being in a very committed reading group, and I say that as someone who loves a good deal of Stein's later work. Three Lives, Tender Buttons, "Lifting Belly," the autobiographies, and Stanzas in Meditation are all more immediately rewarding.

I need to find myself into one of those reading groups that read Making of the Americans. I liked Three Lives a lot at the time and Janet Malcolm's short study of Stein's work is good. I'll chase the rest of the smaller works - thanks.
