Speedy summary: As an ambulance driver in WWI, Cummings is wrongfully arrested and imprisoned in a French jail.
Thoughts: This memoir was a tough read. I will admit I'm not a huge poetry fan and e. e. Cummings is largely know for his poetry. The style of the writing certainly reflects that. I would say my biggest issue with the book isn't the writers fault necessarily. There is a large glossary in the back of the novel of all the french phrases/paragraphs. Pretty much every page you would have to flip back to it and this really threw off the rhythm of reading for me. And you could not just continue on or you would have no idea what was happening. It made it hard to get lost in the story for me.
