Ida a Novel
“In text after text that year, she meditated on the effects. What was the relationship between a successful writer and her audience? Could Stein the writer still exist in a creative space free of her public identity? This experience and her response to it, including her second life narrative, Everybody’s Autobiography, are behind Ida. While not all-inclusive, this chronology lists most of her writing in these years, and with it we can read laterally and test the idea that any act of writing for Stein was embedded within her career: as she worked on a new text, she was thinking about—and sometimes even using words from—earlier ones.Following the date of composition is information on first publication and selected later publications (for abbreviations, see p. vii). An asterisk indicates that information on first publication is in “Stein’s Life and Publications.” To supplement this chronology, see Richard Bridgman’s Gertrude Stein in Pieces (365–385), which covers her entire career, and U...lla Dydo’s The Language That Rises (LR 633–643) for a more accurate record of the years 1923–1934. 1935 January: “How Writing Is Written”MoreLess
