Into Eternity
MacShane examines the works of James Jones who entered the literary scene in 1951 with the publication of From Here to Eternity. Jones was forced by the Depression to join the army for five years, but escaped the misery of army life by reading and writing. The publication of his novel about the American army brought him not only the National Book Award but also friendships with writers such as Norman Mailer and William Styron, and Hollywood stars Montgomery Clift and Frank Sinatra. MacShane deftly interweaves biographical fact, personal anecdote, and literary criticism to produce an appreciation of a writer who lived fully in order to have experiences to put into his books. The author also covers Jones' marriage to actress Gloria Mosolino, their life in Paris where they entertained literary figures such as Irwin Shaw and Mary McCarthy; and the writing of his The Thin Red Line and Whistle.
