"Best known as the author of The Red Badge of Courage, Stephen Crane produced an avalanche of sublimely original short stories, novellas, poems, and journalism before his life was cut short by tuberculosis at age twenty-eight. According to Ralph Ellison, 'Between Twain and the emergence of . . . Faulkner, no artist of Crane's caliber looked so steadily at the wholeness of American life and discovered such far-reaching symbolic equivalents for its unceasing state of civil war. Crane's work remains fresh today because he was a great artist.' [] Celebrated novelist Paul Auster delves deeply into the many forms of that greatness as he tells the story of Crane's tumultuous and dramatic life: a controversial article written at twenty that disrupted the course of the 1892 presidential campaign, crushing poverty as a newcomer to Manhattan during the worst economic depression in the country's history, international fame at twenty-five, a public battle with the New York Police Department over the false arrest of a prostitute that effectively exiled him from the city in 1896, a shipwreck off the coast of Florida that led to his near-drowning in 1897, a common-law marriage to the proprietress of Jacksonville's most elegant bawdy house, correspondent during the Spanish-American War in Cuba (where he repeatedly stood in the line of enemy fire), and then his final years in England, where Joseph Conrad was his closest friend and Henry James wept over his early death." [jacket copy] "Paul Auster calls Stephen Crane 'The Burning Boy,' and Crane's passions burn incandescently in this exceptional biography of a prodigy whose life was cut tragically short. It represents a rare literary match--a visceral affinity--between a biographer and a subject, both masters of modern fiction. And one reads it in the same white heat."--Judith Thurman. "A labor of love of a rare kind in contemporary letters. . . Auster is often sharp-eyed and revealing about the details of Crane's writing."--The New Yorker. "It's hard to imagine a more perfect team than Stephen Crane and the author of The Music of Chance. The music here is often terrifying, discordant, a music of sorrow and despair, but it's still fabulous music. Paul Auster treats biography as an art form, and Crane's works as old friends, always worth a visit, or a new, alert redescription. The result is incomparable--who else would catch premonitions of Harold Pinter's plays in Crane's dialogue--and reminds us eloquently that Crane belongs very much to our own time, more so, perhaps, than to his own."--Michael Wood. "One of those books that one reads from beginning to end. It answers a thousand outstanding riddles about Crane, and is a memorial that should once and for all place him--a modernist before there was such a thing--among the very greatest American writers."--Lucy Sante. Near-pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners (gently bumped top boards points & spinal tail) & crisp deckle edges, a mostly square & tight binding, wrapped in an intact NF jacket. Quite presentable.…
