Amazon.com description: Product Description: "The Enormous Room" is an autobiographical novel by the poet and novelist E. E. Cummings about his temporary imprisonment in France, where he served as an ambulance driver, during World War I. Cummings spent over four months in the prison. He met a number of interesting characters and had many picaresque adventures, which he compiled into "The Enormous Room." The book is written as a mix between Cummings' well-known unconventional grammar and diction and the witty voice of a young Harvard-educated intellectual in an absurd situation. The title of the book refers to the large room where Cummings slept beside thirty or so other prisoners. However, it also serves as an allegory for Cummings' mind and his memories of the prison - such that when he describes the many residents of his shared cell, they still live in the "enormous room" of his mind. Contents: I Begin A Pilgrimage En Route A Pilgrim’s Progress Le Nouveau A Group Of Portraits Apollyon An Approach To The Delectable Mountains The Wanderer Zoo-Loo Surplice Jean Le Nègre Three Wise Men I Say Good-Bye To La Misère Einstein Books' edition of "The Enormous Room" contains supplementary texts: • A few poems of E. E. Cummings. • A few quotes of E. E. Cummings. • A short list of poets and ambulance drivers of World War I.
