Narration Supposing Books The Enormous Room

Authors who only wrote one single novel are a curious lot. Some came up with a masterpiece and then died (Emily Bronte, Sylvia Plath). So that's a pretty good excuse. ( Ill-informed interviewer to Emily Bronte : "Why didn't you write a follow up to your fabulous novel Wuthering Heights? " I died." "Oh, okay. I did not know that.") Some were so stunned by their one novel’s success they were struck dumb (Harper Lee, Margaret Mitchell). Some were playwrights who must have thought heck, this novel business can’t be that hard, I can do that, and found they actually couldn’t very well (Oscar Wilde, Berthold Brecht). One took about 25 years to come up with a novel which is The Worst Book In the World – yes, Marguerite Young! - it’s really an achievement, you try and write the Worst Book in the World, it sounds easy but it ain’t).

E E Cummings turned out to be a very interesting but often irritating poet but aged 23 he over-wrote this 200 page memoir about being wrongly imprisoned as a spy in World War 1 France and it was published as a novel.

Ugh, it isn’t good. I thought it would be quirky, like his poetry, but it’s hoity-toity and leadenfooted, like a vicar made to dance a tango at gunpoint. I was struggling to get to page 40 so I found an audiobook version on Youtube and tried that but that was even worse, like a vicar trying to balance a wedding cake on his head whilst dancing the tango at gunpoint.

The shrinking light which my guide held had become suddenly minute; it was beating, senseless and futile, with shrill fists upon a thick enormous moisture of gloom. To the left and right through lean oblongs of stained glass burst dirty burglars of moonlight.

Abandoned with relief.

Evaluate Epithetical Books The Enormous Room

Although I have always been a tremendous fan of cummings' poetry, even going so far as to purchase one of his paintings, I was truly pleased when one of my professors loaned me his personal copy of this book. It soon became uncomfortably clear that cummings and I had certain similarities, mosty centered around insisting that we do things which only fit our narrow moral compass...and making flippant remarks concerning such to those in charge of our lives.While this story is about cummings when he

An amazing text from WWI, this typescript edition has E.E. Cumming's illustrations to accompany the story of his imprisonment during the war.

I knew that I liked ee cummings as a poet, so I thought I'd try him as a novelist. This is a book that needs to simmer after you read it. At times, all you want to do is wallow in the text, floating around in the strange syntaxes and odd word usage. Cummings takes the English language and flips it upside down, then twirls it around to fit the shapes of his ideas. The only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 is that this language usage can become too personal, so only cummings knows exactly what



In my opinion, THE ENORMOUS ROOM is absolutely a must-read for every aspiring writer. Perhaps because Cummings was an artist as well, fond of sketching the characters and situations he describes in his book, he has a gift, better than any author I have ever read, for capturing and recording both the physical aspect and the personality of each of his characters.THE ENORMOUS ROOM is an eclectic jumble of many things. On the one hand, it is a war story. It takes place over the three months of

During WWI, e.e. cummings was, like Hemingway, a volunteer ambulance driver. According to the back of the book, this book is his account of the "comedy of errors" that "led to his arrest and imprisonment for treason. . . . The author's sense of absurdity transforms the outrage of unjust incarceration into a high-energy romp." This memoir, the back continues, "ranks with the best of its contemporaries, including the works of Hemingway."Lies, lies, lies. I rarely fail to finish a book, but this

E. E. Cummings, The Enormous Room (Liveright, 1921)Cummings became famous for his poetry, but before that he wrote a now obscure novel-cum-memoir about his temporary imprisonment during World War I, The Enormous Room. Modeled loosely after Bunyan's magnum opus, Pilgrim's Progress, Cummings gives us the arrest and detention (for he is never sent to prison, only detained awaiting the word of the Commission on whether he is to be imprisoned or freed) of a friend of his and himself. The friend is
