What is the author's style in Tender Buttons: Objects, Food, Rooms by Gertrude Stein?

The point of view of the novel is third person. This point of view is limited and unreliable, proven by the fact that the narrator very subjectively offers new definitions of words. This point of view is important to the book by virtue of "Tender Buttons: Objects, Food and Rooms" being a collection of poetry, which is a very subjective genre. This point of view allows the reader to become intimately familiar with the author's thoughts and feelings about many different things by being able to see how she redefines these many words. Gertrude Stein writes in a stream-of-consciousness style of writing that she deems word portraits, meant to convey a specific image.
