STEIN, Gertrude. Fernhurst, Q.E.D., And Other Early Writings. New York: Liveright, 1971. First Wraps. Trade paperback. 209x132mm. 214pp. Very Good.

Stein's fictionalization of an early romance -- an affair complicated by her frustrated attempts to fathom the sould of the woman she loved, and doomed finally by the existence of a rival. The third section is an unpublished early draft of The Making of Americans, which records Stein's struggle toward maturity as a person as as an artist. Usual shelf wear to the wrappers and browning to the pages.
