âOf all the work by young men who have sprung up since 1920 one book survivesâThe Enormous Room by E. E. Cummings.ââF. Scott Fitzgerald
The most notable work of fiction from our most beloved modernist poet, The Enormous Room was one of the greatestâyet still not fully recognizedâ American literary works to emerge out of World War I. Drawing on E. E. Cummingsâs experiences in France as a volunteer ambulance driver, this novel takes us through a series of mishaps that led to the poetâs being arrested for treason and imprisoned. Out of this trauma Cummings produced a work like no otherâa 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.
