Publication Details: Cultural Hybrids of (Post)Modernism: Japanese and Western Literature, Art and Philosophy, pp.195-208
Annotation: On the influence of Japanese aesthetics on Western imagism and modernism, as exemplified in Pound s In a Station of the Metro and Hemingway s chapter twenty of Death in the Afternoon. Penas-Ib ez compares Hemingway s use of omission to the minimalist economy of the haiku form in her analysis of Hemingway s thematic treatment of loss, change, impermanence, and authorial anxiety, concluding that both the haiku writer and Hemingway share the desire to create truth and emotion through suggestion.
