Description:
Charles Ruas discusses Gertrude Stein with Janet Hobhouse, author of a 1976 biography of Stein entitled "Everybody Who Was Anybody", recorded May 11, 1976. Hobhouse discusses the influence of automatic writing on Gertrude Stein's work and about the origins of her novel The Making of Americans. Originally aired as part 8 of a series on Stein's "The Making of Americans" during the WBAI Marathon of May 1976. The other episodes of this "mini-marathon" featured excerpts from a marathon reading of the book at Paula Cooper Gallery in New York City on New Year's Eve and Day 1975/1976.

Janet Hobhouse, a writer and editor who earned acclaim and adherents for three stylish novels on marriage and alternative styles of living, died on Friday night at her home in Manhattan. She was 42 years old.
She died of cancer, a family spokesman said.
Ms. Hobhouse first won notice for a 1976 biography of Gertrude Stein, "Everybody Who Was Anybody." James Atlas, writing in The New York Times, hailed her "impressive perseverance" in showing "how Gertrude Stein made the English language an artist's medium, a sort of prose imitation of the Cubist practice of portraying an object on all sides at once."
Other reviewers lauded Ms. Hobhouse for the liveliness, intelligence and lucidity of her novels -- "Nellie Without Hugo" (1982), "Dancing in the Dark" (1983) and "November" (1986) -- though they faulted her for focusing on her characters' self-absorption and what Michiko Kakutani of The Times termed "their endless arguing over definitions of happiness" and "attempts to turn hedonism and irresponsibility into some kind of noble quest."
