- Annotation
- Discusses the Dadaist influence on Hemingway s early aesthetics, arguing that the movement s focus on abstract ideas and nihilistic sentiments are reflected in In Our Time, A Clean, Well-Lighted Place, and his early poetry. Addresses Hemingway s parody of Dadaism in A Divine Gesture. Concludes that the stories of In Our Time are like Dadaist collages in their juxtaposition of random modern world images to create spontaneity, absurd contradiction, and negation.
