- Annotation
- Relies on Richard Rorty s neopragmatic model and theories of ecocriticism to examine Harry s cultural indifference and its ethical and ecocritical repercussions. Provides a close reading of the italicized flashbacks in The Snows of Kilimanjaro, noting that Harry s self-centeredness and apathy to his African surroundings cement his status as an outsider and prevent him from ever moving beyond his urban past in his failed bid for African salvation.
