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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Portable Stephen Crane\u003c\/i\u003e allows us to appreciate the full scope and power of this writer's vision.
