Ambrose Bierce Cynic Looks At Life

Annotation

Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce was born June 24, 1842 was one of the great American short story writers though his talents extended to Journalism and as a critic. With the motto 'Nothing matters' it can be safely assumed that no one was free from his scathing viewpoint. As a writer he was distinctive. He would often employ abrupt openings, compacted descriptions, dark, worrying imagery. In 1913, Bierce travelled to Mexico to gain at first-hand an experience of the Mexican Revolution. Whilst travelling with the rebel forces he seemingly disappeared without a trace. Here in this volume we bring you A Cynic Loks At Life. Perhaps only Ambrose Bierce could have written this. Fellow author Kurt Vonnegut called him a flawless American genius.
