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;With an Introductory Poem by Anne Brontë
Darkly humorous and intensely energised, this fictionalised autobiography is a major work of World War I literature and is e.e. cummings' most notable novel.It's late August 1917, and in the midst of the raging Great War, a soon-to-be-famous modernist poet, e.e. cummings, is arrested by the French authorities on suspicion of espionage. While volunteering as an ambulance driver with the US military, cummings was imprisoned alongside his friend and fellow writer, William Slater Brown, after they were accused of including anti-war sentiments in their letters home. The Enormous Room is the ironically comedic memoir of cummings' time spent imprisoned in France. His famous wit and unorthodox approach to grammar are visibly emerging in this seminal work. The narrator's playful voice ensures the novel lacks any bitterness or melancholy that commonly accompanies literary accounts of hardship. The strange and colourful characters cummings is imprisoned with juxtapose the inhumanity of war, while highlighting the sense of comradery among those imprisoned in the enormous room.First published in 1922, The Enormous Room is a prose report of cummings' own personal enlightenment and a testimony of the war's psychological damage. Now in a new edition with an introductory poem by Anne Brontë, this volume is a great read for fans of cummings' poetry who wish to learn more about the modernist writer's fascinating mind.

Die Sammlung von E. E. Cummings Gedichten zeigt einen Querschnitt durch das lyrische Gesamtwerk des Dichters. Entstanden zwischen 1904 und 1962, stellt es nach wie vor einen Schatz von an die Tausend nie zuvor ins Deutsche übertragenen Gedichten dar. «Cummings heute zu übertragen, da die meisten seiner extravaganten Stilmittel und extrem pathetischen poetischen Forderungen überholt scheinen, heißt unter die Oberfläche zu sehen. Ein jedes besseres Gedicht hat den Anspruch, Körper zu sein. Es wölbt sich mir zu, um Entfernung zu verringern. Wortschöpfungen, Syntaxbrüche, Lettern-Fakes... alles, was die Dichter stiften, ist dabei als Einladung zu verstehen. Bei Cummings allerdings bemüht sich der Gedichtkörper unter Einsatz aller Kräfte um Sinnlichkeit. Jeder Buchstabe, jedes Komma erhält eine einmalige Präsenz. Das Lautliche wird Bild, das Bildliche Laut.» (Mirko Bonné)
