More From George Bernard Shaw

I was first published in the newspaper put out by school of the art institute of chicago, where i was a student. i wince to read that story nowadays, but i published it with an odd photo i'd found in a junk shop, and at least i still like the picture. i had a few things in the school paper, and then i got published in a small literary magazine. i hoped i would one day get published in the new yorker, but i never allowed myself to actually believe it. getting published is one of those things that feels just as good as you'd hoped it would.

I have seen war. i have seen war on land and sea. i have seen blood running from the wounded. i have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. i have seen the dead in the mud. i have seen cities destroyed. i have seen 200 limping, exhausted men come out of line—the survivors of a regiment of 1,000 that went forward 48 hours before. i have seen children starving. i have seen the agony of mothers and wives. i hate war.
