Peter Haas said [of Robert Haas]. "He was kind of a little avant-garde, and Gertrude Stein was certainly an avant-garde poet."Among his books about Stein was "A Primer for the Gradual Understanding of Gertrude Stein," published in 1971, in which he is credited as editor.
Jan Doane, an English professor at St. Mary's College of California in Moraga who wrote a 1986 book "Silence and Narrative: The Early Novels of Gertrude Stein," said Haas "really has an acute sense of her as a writer. . .. I think he understood her aesthetic goals."
