The Enormous Room

e.e. cummings' memoir of 4 months spent in a French prison during WWI

“By the way, a gendarme assured me this is not a prison.” ― E.E. Cummings, The Enormous Room

While e.e. cummings would later become famous for his poetry, The Enormous Room is an interesting and absurd record of his time spent as a prisoner during World War I.
