1. What is behind the oft quoted stein phrase "there is no there there"?
The quote "There is no there there" appears in Stein's Book _Everybody's Autobiography_.
When Stein returned to California on her lecture tour to the United States
in the 1930s, she wanted to visit her childhood home in Oakland, CA.
She records that she could not find the house. Hence, "there is no there there."
