Description

** WINNER OF THE L.A. TIMES BOOK PRIZE FOR BIOGRAPHY **

Exhilarating. Joyce Carol Oates, Times Literary Supplement Books of the Year

Sharp-eyed and revealing. The New Yorker

Brilliant . . . Remarkable. New York Journal of Books

Stephen Crane produced an avalanche of sublime literature before he succumbed to tuberculosis at the age of twenty-eight. Yet his short life was an eventful one: from crushing poverty as a newcomer to Manhattan and his near-drowning in a shipwreck, to his stint as a war correspondent in Cuba and international fame at twenty-five, to his final years in England and friendships with Joseph Conrad and Henry James. In Burning Boy, celebrated novelist Paul Auster delves deeply into the story of Crane s tumultuous and dramatic life.
