Owner of The Blue Hotel, Patrick Scully, one day welcomes three new arrivalsâ an Easterner, a cowboy, and a Swede. The Swede is visibly nervous despite Scullyâs kindness, and the bewildered reception his tactless outbursts get does nothing to calm the foreignerâs nerves, setting the stage for a violent confrontation later in the day. A story about isolation and the power of communities to welcome or exclude individual, Stephen Craneâs âThe Blue Hotelâ is an example of early literary expressionism. It was first published in Collierâs Weekly in 1898 and later collected in The Monster and Other Stories.
