Published in 1909, the famous book by Gertrude Stein marked the beginning of an era of bold experiments with literary form and language. The stories of three women from Bridgepoint are inspired by the ideas of modern artists. In the non-linear narrative of Good Anna, the reader will notice the influence of Cezanne, Stein’s friendship with Picasso inspired free syntax and open sexuality of the story of Melankte, the influence of Matisse is noticeable in The Quiet Lena. The books of Gertrude Stein are works not only of literature, but also of painting. Words, like paints, lie on a canvas, all of whose elements are equal.
