Jones, James

Born Nov. 6, 1921, in Robinson, 111. American writer. Served in the US Army in World War II.

Jones became famous for his antimilitaristic novel From Here to Eternity (1951; Russian translation, From Here and Into Eternity, 1969). Jones’ novel Some Came Running (1957) tells about front-line soldiers who return after the war alienated from their bourgeois surroundings. In Jones’ style, which was influenced by the prose of E. Hemingway and the soldier poetry of R. Kipling, the naturalistic element predominates.

WORKS

The Pistol. New York, 1959.

Jones, James

(1921–77) writer; born in Robinson, Ill. He served as an enlisted man in the U.S. Army (1939–44), at one point attending the University of Hawaii (1942); after the war he attended New York University (1945). His first novel, From Here to Eternity (1951), won over both readers and critics by its sheer narrative force—and was also made into a popular movie (1953)—but his subsequent work, with the exception of The Thin Red Line (1962), was not that well received in literary circles. He lived his later years in Paris, France, and Sagaponack, N.Y.
