The most notable work of fiction from our most beloved modernist
poet, The Enormous Room was one of the greatest yet still not fully
recognized American literary works to emerge out of World War I.
Drawing on E. E. Cummings s experiences in France as a volunteer
ambulance driver, this novel takes us through a series of mishaps
that led to the poet s being arrested for treason and imprisoned.
Out of this trauma Cummings produced a work like no other a 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."
