Description
"The Enormous Room" by E. E. Cummings is an autobiographical novel published in 1922 about his imprisonment in France during World War I. After standing by his friend who expressed anti-war sentiments, Cummings was arrested and spent over four months in a prison at La Ferté-Macé. The book chronicles his picaresque adventures and the colorful characters he encountered, written in Cummings's unconventional style mixed with the witty voice of a young Harvard intellectual navigating an absurd situation.
