Twenty-six Bay Area poets perform an all-day marathon reading of selections from Gertrude Stein’s epic novel, The Making of Americans. Composed during the years of the legendary Paris salons held by Stein and her siblings, this “history of a family’s progress” represents the beginning of Stein’s distinctive modernist style.
