Förlagets beskrivning
Of all the work by young men who have sprung up since 1920 one book survivesThe Enormous Room by E. E. Cummings.F. Scott FitzgeraldThe most notable work of fiction from our most beloved modernist poet, The Enormous Room was one of the greatestyet still not fully recognized American literary works to emerge out of World War I. Drawing on E. E. Cummingss experiences in France as a volunteer ambulance driver, this novel takes us through a series of mishaps that led to the poets being arrested for treason and imprisoned. Out of this trauma Cummings produced a work like no othera story of oppression and injustice told with his characteristic linguistic energy and unflappable exuberance, which celebrates the spirit of the individual and offers a brave and brilliant opposition in the face of the inhumanity of war. Illustrated with drawings Cummings made while imprisoned in France and featuring an illuminating new introduction by Susan Cheever, this reissued edition offers a unique and multifaceted lens onto the inner life of the poet in his youth and demands recognition by a twenty-first-century readership
