- Annotation
- Vignette on the fine line between writing about the world and living in it. Milutis discusses Hemingway s decision to become an ambulance driver, thus succumbing to the vitalist impulse to get outside of literature, thereby arriving closer to its core. Reads Hemingway s wounding in World War I and Hadley s loss of nearly all his early writing as two de-virtualizing experiences that inspired Hemingway s practice of omission.
