dalle note di copertina
The Geographical History of America is a culminating
work...the stylized presentation of the process of
meditation itself, with many critical asides. It demon-
strates far more than it proves, and although it is in
no sense a volume of philosophy (Gertrude Stein
never “argues” anything), it is, philosophically, the
most important of her texts____If we follow her thought
as Theseus did the thread of Ariadne, I think we find
at the end the justice, if not the total truth, of her boast
that the most serious thinking about the nature of
literature in the twentieth century has been done by a
woman. —from the Introduction by William H. Gass
