New York: Liveright Publishing, 1950. Second printing. Hardcover. Very Good/very good. New printing of this early title by Cummings that was originally published in 1922. A novel set in World War I. Light spotting to front endpaper. A bit of rubbing and wear to cloth covers. Still, a handsome very good copy in price-intact dustwrapper. SIGNED by Cummings on the title page. A book only rarely found signed.
Sinopsis
In 1917 young Edward Estlin Cummings went to France as a volunteer with a Red Cross ambulance unit on the western front. But his free-spirited, insubordinate ways soon got him tagged as a possible enemy of La Patrie, and he was summarily tossed into a French concentration camp at La Ferte-Mace in Normandy. Under the vilest conditions, Cummings found fulfillment of his ever elusive quest for freedom. The Enormous Room , his account of his four-month confinement, reads like a latter-day Pilgrim's Progress, a journey into dispossession, to a place among the most debased and deprived of human creatures. Cummings's hopeful tone reflects the essential paradox of his existence: to lose everything is to become free, and so to be saved.
