I think her editor's eye and advice were more influential than her actual writings. But if her writing influenced Hemingway and he "revolutionized" literature then I think one could fairly say that she was, in fact, influential in a larger sense. Not if he's parodying her, I would think, as he clearly does in "Mr. and Mrs. Elliott." If Hemingway's entire output were a parody of Stein then you might have a point. Tell you what, you read Stein and I'll read Hemingway. That way, at least one of us won't be bored. Thanks, I've read them both and I find them engaging each for their own reasons. Hemingway is, of course, more entertaining since he popularized her experimental techniques and applied them to more traditional narratives.

Forgive me if this has been brought up in this thread before, but with the interest displayed here in pre-World War 2 American novelists, has anyone seen the recent film Genius with Colin Firth as Max Perkins and Jude Law as Thomas Wolfe? (Hemingway and both F. Scott & Zelda Fitzgerald are portrayed in it too.) The movie hits most of the standard biopic tropes, but it nonetheless is a fascinating depiction of that milieu.
