Read about another entry on the list.The Making of Americans by Gertrude Stein
Although best known as a writer of poems, Gertrude Stein wrote several novels, and The Making of Americans is probably the most celebrated. Tracing the lives of an American dynasty – the Hersland-Dehnings family – in painstaking detail that stretches over more than a thousand pages, Stein circles in her sentences, stammers and repeats, slowly giving rise to one of the most nuanced and unique portraits of American life ever written.
