Burning Boy

In Stephen Crane's short life he wrote, The Red Badge of Courage as well as short stories and frontline dispatches. He was in the Wild West, Mexico and Cuba before arriving in Britain, where he became friends with H.G. Wells, Henry James and Joseph Conrad. Through Auster's skill as a novelist, Crane leaps off the page, and into the reader's heart. A major re-assessment of the genius of Stephen Crane.
