About This Item
Stein, Gertrude. HAVE THEY ATTACKED MARY. HE GIGGLED. West Chester, Pa.: Horace F. Temple [1917] First edition, one of 200 numbered copies. Original red printed wrappers, uncut. Light wear two small chips, and slight offsetting of wrapper dye to first and last leaves of text, but a well-preserved copy of this scarce and fragile pamphlet. The "poem," a sort of free verse conversation, was a caricature of the art critic, Henry McBride, although Stein called it a "genre picture" and claimed the caricature was more generalized. The frontispiece cartoon of Henry McBride speaks for itself. Wilson A4.
