The Enormous Room - Cummings, E.E.

Clean, tight, unmarked; very light wear to edges of dust jacket - dj is lightly rubbed with a couple of very small stains on front cover - price clipped; red cloth covers with gilt titles on spine; very minimal wear; Among the few important novels which have survived since the end of WWI, The Enormous Room still hold a distinguished place in American fiction. Although it reveals the filth and futility of war pitilessly, it is not essentially a war novel; it is, rather an affirmation of the aspirations and an interpretation of the thwartings of young men confronted by the fierce reality of battle, the taut periods of preparation for conflict and the grim aftermath of trial by fire. Written with imagination and sensibility, this is a novel spontaneous in realism and rewarding in insights into the enduring spirit of youth.
