Title: Dover Thrift Editions made a poor choice
Review: I have been an admirer of Gertrude Stein's work and chose "Three Lives" in good faith. I wound up discarding the book because of the content of the second story in it, entitled: "Melanctha". The story concerns a woman of African descent. The language and content of the story is racist, blatantly so. Why did the publisher choose THIS volume for its Dover Thrift Edition when something far better could have been selected from Gertrude Stein's vast body of work? (And why did Gertrude Stein write something like this at all?)
Is the review positive or negative?
