| book description |

Gertrude Stein’s monumental novel, back in print a century after its first publication. In The Making of Americans, Gertrude Stein sets out to tell ""a history of a family's progress,"" radically reworking the traditional family saga novel to encompass her vision of personality and psychological relationships. As the history progresses over three generations, Stein also meditates on her own writing, on the making of The Making of Americans, and on America itself.
