Um þessa rafbók

The first book published by author Thomas Boyd, about the experiences of a young American Marine during World War I. The book gained immediate critical acclaim upon its publication, with F. Scott Fitzgerald calling it “a work of art” and “arresting.”

“Through the Wheat records the experiences of William Hicks of the marines, who never distinguished himself, but who never flinched....The effect of attack after attack, numberless tragedies day after day, unceasing danger, was to deaden his senses completely. His companions concluded, not without reason, that he was mad. He wandered about under fire with perfect composure—not because he was more brave than his fellows, but because he was psychologically dead....Thomas Boyd [has written] the least partisan and the most brilliant of doughboy reminiscences.”—New York Times.

“A remarkable first novel.”—The Nation.

Um höfundinn

Thomas Alexander Boyd (1898-1935) joined the Marines fresh out of a Defiance, Ohio high school in order to serve his country in the patriotic heat of the spring of 1917. In 1919 he came home from the war with a Croix de Guerre and a desire to write. He joined the St. Paul News as a journalist and opened a bookstore, whose patrons included F. Scott Fitzgerald and Sinclair Lewis. His first book Through the Wheat was published in 1923 to vast critical acclaim. Boyd wrote five other works before he died in Vermont of a cerebral hemorrhage at age 37.
