Jones’s only collection of stories is back in print, with a new preface by daughter Kaylie Jones and a brand new study guide.
“Superbly realized stories . . . Personal, vigorous, meaningful.” —
Library Journal
“We feel the impact of Jones’s vitality. He is masculine, uninhibited, not abashed by whatever he uncovers of human weakness and sexuality.” —
Chicago Sun Times
The World War II trilogy,
From Here to Eternity, The Thin Red Line
, and
Whistle
established James Jones as one of the greatest American writers of the twentieth century.
The Ice-Cream Headache
—out of print for more than fifteen years—is Jones’s only collection of short stories. Unique to the collection is an author’s introduction that illuminates his development as a writer over twenty years, beginning in 1947. The thirteen penetratingly sensitive, remarkably varied stories are about men, women, and children in love, at war, in marriage. Each story is distinguished by the classical simplicity, emotional resonance, and lasting impact that is the hallmark of the great short story writer.
