He communicated what he saw with the same laconic factuality that characterized his journalism and, in the process, laid the foundations for the unblinking realism of Hemingway and Dos Passos.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Portable Stephen Crane\u003c\/i\u003e allows us to appreciate the full scope and power of this writer’s vision.
