Jones, James

▪ American author
born Nov. 6, 1921, Robinson, Ill., U.S.
died May 9, 1977, Southampton, N.Y.
 U.S. novelist best known for From Here to Eternity (1951), a novel about the peacetime army in Hawaii just before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.

      The strongest influence on Jones's literary career was his service in the U.S. Army from 1939 to 1945, during which he received the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart after actions in the South Pacific. He used his knowledge of day-to-day life in the military to advantage in his first novel, From Here to Eternity, which described the experiences of a charismatic serviceman who dies shortly after the outbreak of war in the Pacific. (A film in 1953 adapted from the book won eight Academy Awards and several other awards.) In his second novel, Some Came Running, published in 1958, the same year that he moved to Paris, Jones drew on his Midwestern life in Illinois after the war. His next two novels, however, returned to his wartime experiences: The Pistol (1959) and The Thin Red Line (1963). Jones remained an expatriate in Paris until 1975, when he returned to the United States. He settled in Long Island, where he remained until his death in 1977. None of his later works attracted the public or critical attention that his first novel had.
