Description
A centenary edition of E. E. Cummings's novel about his imprisonment in a French military detention camp during World War I. In 1917, after America entered the war, Cummings volunteered to serve on an ambulance corps in France. He and a friend, William Slater Brown, lived life to the fullest before heading into the field. Their irreverent letters attracted unwanted attention from the censors, leading to their arrest and months of detention in a single large room with fellow detainees. Cummings's novel, The Enormous Room, is a free-spirited tale that displays his signature formal swagger. It is a stinging denunciation of military authority and an early precursor to later works like Catch-22 and MASH.
