Uncovering Woman's Body in Gertrude Stein's "Subject-Cases: The Background of a Detective Story."
Holland, Jeanne
College English, v52 n5 p540-51 Sep 1990
Analyzes Gertrude Stein's approach to detective fiction through her text, "Subject Cases: The Background of a Detective Story." Argues that Stein's lesbianism raises a fear of homosexuality repressed in detective fiction. Concludes that Stein's readers may prefer her word play and opaque plot lines to any premature resolution. (SG)
