The Enormous Room
"The Enormous Room" by E. E. Cummings is a semi-autobiographical narrative that chronicles the author's experiences during World War I. The story begins with Cummings and his friend B. serving as volunteer ambulance drivers for the Norton-Harjes Ambulance Corps in France. Their nonconformist attitudes and fraternization with French soldiers lead to tensions with their American superior, Mr. A., who disapproves of their behavior. This friction culminates in their arrest by French authorities, who suspect them of espionage due to B.'s letters, which were misinterpreted by an overzealous censor. Cummings is taken to a prison in Noyon, where he undergoes an interrogation by the French Minister of Security. Despite the opportunity to clear his name, Cummings refuses to denounce his friend or express hatred for the Germans, leading to his continued detention. The narrative captures Cummings' reflections on identity, loyalty, and the absurdity of war. His time in prison is marked by a sense of liberation from the constraints of military life, allowing him to embrace his individuality. The story is interspersed with vivid descriptions of his cell, interactions with fellow prisoners, and the bureaucratic absurdities of his captors. Cummings' stylistic shift, characterized by its poetic language and satirical tone, offers a poignant critique of the dehumanizing effects of war and the arbitrary nature of authority.

The Enormous Room
"In 1917, after the entry of America into World War I, E. E. Cummings, arecent graduate of Harvard College, volunteered to serve on an ambulance corps in France. Arrived in Paris with a new friend, William Slater Brown, the two young men set about living it up in the big city before heading off to their assignment. Once in the field, they wrote irreverent letters about their experiences which attracted the attention of the censors and ultimately led to their arrest. They were held for months in a military detention camp, sharing a single large room with a host of fellow detainees. It is this experience that Cummings relates in lightly fictionalized form in The Enormous Room, a book in which a tale of woe becomes an occasion of exuberant mischief. A free-spirited novel that displays the same formal swagger as Cummings' poems, a stinging denunciation of the stupidity of military authority, and a precursor to later books like Catch-22 and MASH, Cummings' novel is an audacious, uninhibited, lyrical, and lasting contribution to American literature"--

La stanza enorme
"La stanza enorme" è stato pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1922. Libro insieme polemico e divertente, vede la guerra imporsi come la "grande assente": C, il protagonista, viene riconosciuto colpevole di tradimento davanti a un tribunale farsa e imprigionato ben prima di aver sperimentato direttamente la guerra, anzi dopo un mese di bella vita parigina. Il viaggio verso la prigione si trasforma in un itinerario di conoscenza, e il protagonista finirà per spogliarsi di qualsiasi orpello civile facendo il suo ingresso in una nuova vita, consapevole della propria superiore diversità.

The Enormous Room
An early autobiographical novel by the great American poet, closely based on his experiences in a French detention facility in World War I. Falsely suspected of spying for Germany, Cummings and a friend were detained in appallingly squalid conditions amid abusive guards and an international collection of people who would be misfits under most circumstances. Considered by F. Scott Fitzgerald to be the finest novel to emerge from the Great War, it remains a vivid tale documenting the stupidity and cruelty endemic to authorities afflicted equally with paranoia and power.fic
