Sadly, I don't think Stephen Crane is read, assigned, or remembered any more. Does anyone have to read
Maggie:a Girl of the Streets anymore? They should. Are
A Bride Come to Yellow Sky or
The Open Boat on lists anymore?
A writer in the same school, Frank Norris died at 32 a couple years later.

Great post. FR seems always to have gems.

Red Badge of Courage was the first novel I read through. I think I was nine when I read it.

Thanks for posting! I think I gained some IQ points back after 4,000 kung-flu articles!
I have an anthology on my shelf somewhere and need to dust it off and read it again.

His poetry is underrated. It’s very distinctive.

Loved, “Maggie.” Did nothing care for Red Badge of Courage. The movie with Audie Murphy (who should have been banned from acting) was worse.
