Overview

Set in pre-war England, Jacob's Room traces the development of Jacob Flanders from childhood to adulthood. In this pathbreaking experimental novel, Jacob's character and the events of his life are revealed primarily through the letters, conversations, and thoughts of the people in his life who love him. Their impressions and memories surround the lacuna at the center of the story, which is Jacob himself, whose inner life is only fleetingly glimpsed. Elegiac, probing, and poignant, Jacob's Room is an important modernist text by a literary virtuoso coming into her own. This Warbler Classics edition includes an illuminating afterword by Kristina K. Groover and a detailed biographical timeline.
