I haven't read Stein, and only made an effort to get to know who she was after A Moveable Feast. ( Hanging out with Hemingway, as a mentor in Paris made her sound so cool! ) Smallwood's first sentence sums up the writer's rep. though and with the scarcity of time in our modern society I am ready for the cliff notes.
Perhaps the biographer's take will be a bit like that, a smaller window into her big world. It is interesting that resentments are revealed, as if they would not be human like everybody else. I liked the idea of tug of war, that sounds right. Two writers with powerful intellect and larger than life personas... sounds as if that would be putting it lightly.
