Tender Buttons

Gertrude Stein · Claire Marie · 1914

US Claire Marie (1914) is the sole true first; there is no UK edition of the original setting. 'First thus' trap: the City Lights Corrected Centennial Edition (2014) and mid-century resettings (Sun & Moon, Dover, etc.) are modern editions, not the 1914 first.
