E-copy of The Enormous Room

Unread post

Here is an electronic online copy of the The Enormous Room.

Over the months of April & May we will be discussing The Enormous Room interspersed with some of E. E. Cummings poetry. I'm not sure how the poetry will fit in just yet.


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Enormous Room

The Enormous Room is a 1922 autobiographical novel by the poet and novelist E. E. Cummings about his temporary imprisonment in France during World War I.

Cummings served as an ambulance driver during the war, when in late August 1917 he along with another driver, William Slater Brown (known in the book only as B.), were taken into custody by the French for some letters written by B. The letters contained many anti-war sentiments and when inquired, Cummings stood by his friend and was arrested.

To everyone reading The Enormous Room:

1. Would it be helpful if I post a links to the chapter as the first post to each chapter thread?

2. How might be a good way to set up the thread or threads to discuss some of E. E. Cummings poetry? Should we choice a poem to go with each chapter? Or just a few important poems?

Is there anybody here still wanting to discuss this book.

If so, I'll read from the online copy - doesn't look like there's a book available at our library.
