E. Cummings spent in a French prison under suspicion of espionage-a circumstance he could have easily avoided had he professed a hatred of Germans. Instead, when questioned, Cummings answered French authorities in a way that insured that he would accompany his friend \"B.\" (William Slater Brown), who was indeed guilty of writing letters critical of the French government. The psychologically tense narrative-shocking and provocative in its day-juxtaposes the barbarity and inhumanity of war against the camaraderie and collective spirit of the oppressed. As a piece of writing, it foreshadows the whimsy, humor, pessimism, and jubilance that would come to characterize Cummings's poetry while, on its own, it stands as a major work of World War I literature. This Warbler Classics edition includes Paul Headrick's essay \"Brilliant Obscurity: The Reception of \u003cem\u003eThe Enormous Room, \u003c\/em\u003e\" as well as a detailed biographical timeline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Warbler Classics","offers":[{"title":"Enormous Room (Warbler Classics) | E E Cummings | Paperback | 9781954525252 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks R 1782207","offer_id":50526923718808,"sku":"1782207","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61sP9N4XozL.jpg?v=1790280184","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/enormous-room-warbler-classics","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
