Stein's monster of a novel, which was initially serialized by Hemingway and Ford Madox Ford in the Transatlantic Review. Although Stein does not follow convention, the plot portrays three generations of an American family. An abridged edition was released in 1934, but this is a facsimile of the original text published in Paris in 1925 by Robert McAlmon's Contact Editions.

I’ve looked forward to reading this for so long—i loved TAoABT. I did not enjoy the experience at all. Only stubbornness kept me going and going and going. Ugh.
