Annotation
Treats the narrative’s multiple perspectives in relation to modernism. Coffman details Stein’s homosocial bonding with other artists and writers of the modernist period, looking specifically at how the autobiography establishes Stein’s masculinity through, among other things, her relationships with men such as Hemingway, Picasso, and Sherwood Anderson. Coffman discusses Stein’s response to Hemingway’s later hostility toward his early mentors.
