He was also a playwright, a painter, and a writer of prose. Born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, he studied at Harvard University and, during World War I, served with an ambulance corps in France. He spent three months in a French detention camp and subsequently wrote \u003cem\u003eThe Enormous Room\u003c\/em\u003e, a highly acclaimed criticism of World War I.
