- Influence study focusing on the authors similar thematic preoccupation with dread and isolation in an impersonal world. Scruggs compares Hemingway s use of gothic conventions, including unexpected violence, terrifying absurdity, and meaningless suffering, in In Our Time, To Have and Have Not, and A Clean, Well-Lighted Place to Wright s Native Son (1940), Black Boy (1945), and The Outsider (1953).
