- Annotation
- Frequent but cursory references to Hemingway s works, including The Sun Also Rises, The Old Man and the Sea, and The Battler, and influence on other writers such as Norman Mailer and Saul Bellow. Briefly categorizes Pedro Romero and Santiago as ritualized sports heroes, anachronistic figures who oppose trends of collective modern society. Relevant pages: 2, 22, 30, 35, 38, 44-45, 58, 61.
