- Annotation
- Annotates and comments, often line by line, on familiar and obscure details and allusions to the people, places, things, events, and other references found in the story. Opens with a discussion of the story's composition history and relationship to the other Nick Adams war stories, "Big Two-Hearted River" and "Now I Lay Me," before moving into an explication beginning with the title and closing with the story's final exchange of goodbyes between Nick and Paravicini revealing Nick's faulty Italian, a flaw reminiscent of other Hemingway protagonists. Covers stylistic elements such as Hemingway's use of repetition and understatement and dialogue attribution. Frequent comparisons to "A Natural History of the Dead."
