Book Review of The Open Boat and Other Stories (Dover Thrift Editions)

The Open Boat and Other Stories (Dover Thrift Editions)
Pro-Nomos avatar reviewed on + 23 more book reviews


The short stories of Stephen Crane are among the most prized in American Literature, admired for their terse, vivid prose style and hard edged realism in depicting characters of the milieu.

This story is based on the sinking of the Cuban bound steamer Commodore (1897) on which Crane was a passenger.
