- Annotation
- Thematic study comparing Hemingway s treatment of the nature of death and mortality to Qaddafi s, noting that for both authors death takes many guises and is inescapable. Discusses much of the symbolism found in Snows (e.g. Dark Continent, snow, infected leg), positing that the cowardly hyena and mean vulture represent Harry s character on his way to death.
