'Geography and Plays' is a collection of Gertrude Stein's writings, mostly those that are short in length. The works are varied; from plays to poems. Stein was an American novelist, poet, playwright, and art collector. She is best-remembered today for the quote '"Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose," included in her quasi-memoir of her Paris years, 'The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas".
