Stein's work does not perform any of these social functions nor did she ever intend that it would."Stein spent much effort distinguishing for herself the difference between identity and essence: 'Am I I because my little dog knows me?', she asked."Or stated this way, can I enter her or anyone's writing only if I already recognize myself and my own past experiences in it? Can I experience the writing as current event rather than reflection?"By suspending judgment about how a story, poem, or play 'should go' and by agreeing with myself to keep reading even when I can't find a way to recognize myself, I have begun to muddle into the landscape of her mind."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
