Judge Appertaining To Books The Open Boat and Other Stories

Clear, crisp prose that doesn't turn sparse. Nature's brutality head-on. There is something about this stuff that I love, and it's somewhere between the words.

I've read this collection to understand Eudora Welty's On Writing. I have enjoyed the Bride Comes to Yellow Sky, The Open Boat and The Blue Hotel. When I got to Maggie, A Girl of the Streets, initially I was moved, reminded of Twain's Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer. But unlike them, there's no hope of improvement for Maggie Johnson. Born in a poor and unloving family, her fate is to remain used, abused and die alone. Not a big fan of naturalism for its deterministic nature. The story is well

Stephen Crane is the man. He writes some of the best sentences ever. And then puts those awesome sentences together to write stories. Jealous!!

Tragic and suspenseful stories that rend the heart and fill with wonder. Intriguing characters imbue a variety of colorful American landscapes in this exceptional collection of realism. Stephen Crane is a gem; shame on me for not having read his works earlier.

Hit and miss. When on, it's the best.

Read these stories in an edition combined with Red Badge two or three years ago. May have reviewed it then. At any rate, fine reading.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Previous review: In the Lake of the WoodsNext review: New Hampshire Robert FrostOlder review: ___Previous library review: Science Fiction Hall of Fame Volume Two BNext library review: The Red Badge of Courage
