Editorial Review: A rose is a rose is lifting belly is Gertrude Stein, a loving one. If you've read Stein before, you have probably heard the term "stream-of-consciousness." This erotic lesbian love poem is also a stream of pleasure and of love. Rebecca Mark's excellent introduction helps unravel some of the wonderful wordplay that Stein employs. Lifting Belly is a book to read aloud to someone who's your passion. Alone. In a romantic setting. Have some wine handy.
Reader Reviews for Lifting Belly: Customer Rating: Summary: Back To School...Duh! Comment: I really wanted to like this, having heard so much hype about it recently. I found it just a tad too esoteric for my tastes. Probably if I had been "in the life" back when she wrote this, I may have found a lot more of what she wrote edifying rather than just plain too oblique for my tastes! If I have to stretch too far to understand what is being written, my mind tends to wander I have to ask myself if what reviewers have said about this piece really is true as much as their attempts to find some sort of justification, through much stretching, to bring some sort of understanding to what she wrote. With all of that having been said, I'm sure Alice loved her very much!
