Description
Stephen Crane's day job was that of reporter, and this is evident in the episodic, journalistic style of his work -- realism is paramount, so much so that his novels have been called "plotless." Crane employs symbolism and vivid imagery to illuminate the series of events that make up his stories, and he is also gifted with a keen grasp of the ironic -- fans of his short stories particularly enjoy this aspect of his tone, which he uses to show the difference between reality and his characters' romanticized perception of it. Start with: The Red Badge of Courage
