Do you like Hemingway?
So, I recently had to read Gertrude Stein and Ernest Hemingway, and I liked both (although I really like Stein). But then I was looking through some bio information, and some criticism, and I found a quote that Hemingway said of Stein. I must warn you--if you are at all a "feminist" or "modern woman" or anybody who just hates chauvinists, then be prepared to be offended by what the wonderful, Nobel Prize winner said:
She [Gertrude Stein] lost all sense of taste when she had the menopause. Was really an extraordinary business. Suddenly she couldnt tell a good picture from a bad one, a good writer from a bad one, it all went phtt.
