Caine Mutiny: A Novel of World War II
Caine Mutiny: A Novel of World War II | Herman Wouk
17 posts | 21 read | 27 to read
The Novel that Inspired the Now-Classic Film The Caine Mutiny and the Hit Broadway Play The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial Herman Wouk's boldly dramatic, brilliantly entertaining novel of life-and mutiny-on a Navy warship in the Pacific theater was immediately embraced, upon its original publication in 1951, as one of the first serious works of American fiction to grapple with the moral complexities and the human consequences of World War II. In the intervening half century, The Caine Mutiny has become a perennial favorite of readers young and old, has sold millions of copies throughout the world, and has achieved the status of a modern classic.

The tagged HF won him the Pulitzer Prize; though he wrote many more books. Many became movies. He lived to 103!

A good read. From Ens. Willie Keith‘s perspective, what goes around comes around.

This was crammed with description but maintained a decent pace throughout. I found my opinion of the main personalities kept changing over the course of the book; a challenging case indeed. Recommended for travel or for long afternoons at home, to get stuck into it properly.

I'm at a work conference for a few days. I packed these three print books, and I have ebooks on my iPad, and I have audiobooks on my phone.
Me: "I still don't think I've packed enough books."
BF: "I think you have enough books."
Joke's on him; I finished the tagged book just now ?

shanaqui It's always the way! Me and my wife have this identical conversation every time I pack for anything. 6y
rabbitprincess @shanaqui I've managed to avoid packing print books when visiting my parents, but everywhere else it's this kind of situation 😁 6y

DrSabrinaMoldenReads Also, War and Remembrance. I so hated for those stories to end @Blueberry @Melissa_J 6y
Blueberry @Joyfulmimi Maybe I should move them up the tbr and read them this summer. Since I work in education I have a long summer break to read chunksters. 6y

Listened to this book several months ago. Essentially a coming of age story for the narrator Willie Keith, a well off young man living without purpose who joins the navy in WW2 rather than being drafted into the Army. Keith is assigned as a junior officer under a series of Captain's including the tyrannical and vindictive Queeg, a long term navy man whose action may endanger the crew and who is subject to a mutiny by his XO. The story doesn't

Oblomov26 End with the mutiny and its ramifications, but continues as Keith assumes responsibility which he lacked and ultimately takes command of the Caine and returns to America with new focus and purpose 8y

The Caine Prize for best African Short Story of the Year was awarded to South African writer Lidudumalingani's "Memories We Lost." http://static1.squarespace.com/static/565c3d39e4b027c789ba5b70/t/5731edd627d4bdb...

Yossarian Read it and tell me what you think! (It's only 12 pages.) 8y
ChasingOm Oooh, neat! 8y
Simona @Yossarian I like it. This story touched me, it's sad and I think that is her strength in a simple narrative style. 8y
Tanner I liked it too; some of the language just struck me, such as "abducting the entire village from their sleep." 8y
