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”
