Description:
<DIV><DIV><b>A collection of short stories by one of America’s great twentieth-century writers</b></div><DIV><b><BR></b></div><DIV>In his introduction to this collection of sharply crafted short stories, James Jones compares novel writing to a long-term, chronic illness. Writing short stories, he says, is like a brief, intense fever: the kind that can kill or disappear in a matter of days. Although best known for epic war novels such as <i>From Here to Eternity </i>and <i>The Thin Red Line</i>, Jones also wrote short stories, and the ones in this volume burn with deadly intensity.</div><DIV> </div><DIV>Besides the expected stories of the soldier’s life, Jones gives us something surprising: five stories of childhood, tender and horrifying at the same time, inspired by his early life in the Depression-stricken Midwest. They and the other shorts in this volume are accompanied by author’s notes, which supplement Jones’s introduction, and a preface by his daughter, Kaylie Jones.</div><DIV> </div>This ebook features an illustrated biography of James Jones including rare photos from the author’s estate. <BR></div>
