Book Description
Through historical fiction Douglas Savage has painted a psychological picture of novelist Stephen Crane. Against the backdrop of the lush countryside and treachery of Cuba just after the Spanish-American War, "A Mouthful of Dust" does what no biographer can do--examine the heart and soul of a twenty-seven-year-old writer grappling with his own death.
Editorial Reviews
Review
""A Mouthful of Dust" is an enticing read that explores the soul of a soldier, and of a writer. Highly recommended." --Midwest Book Review
"Douglas Savage's writing is so compelling that Stephen Crane himself could have written "A Mouthful of Dust"." --David Halliburton, PhD, author of "The Color of the Sky: A Study of Stephen Crane"
"Powerful and haunting. A "tour de force"."--Perry Lentz, professor emeritus of English, Kenyon College
"I loved the surprise ending and I think Crane would have, too."--Linda H. Davis, author of "Badge of Courage: The Life of Stephen Crane"
