About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Tender Buttons, by Gertrude Stein. Read by Cori Samuel. "The time came when there was a birthday. Every day was no excitement and a birthday was added, it was added on Monday, this made the memory clear, this which was a speech showed the chair in the middle where there was copper." "A kind of green a game in green and nothing flat nothing quite flat and more round, nothing a particular color strangely, nothing breaking the losing of no little piece." "The teasing is tender and trying and thoughtful." Extracts from Tender Buttons.
