- Annotation
- Influence study on Hemingway s stylistic, thematic, and political impact on the works of La Guma, South African writer and pro-Soviet political activist. Field traces strains of For Whom the Bell Tolls, Death in the Afternoon, and Across the River and into the Trees in La Guma s A Soviet Journey (1978) and Time of the Butcherbird (1979), concluding that Hemingway s modernist mode of representation was sufficiently realist to be unconditionally accommodated within the Soviet aesthetic of the 1970s.
