- Annotation
- Despite stylistic differences, Kartiganer identities each author s thematic preoccupation with the power of the empty gesture. Compares the clean, straightforward gesture employed by Hemingway in In Another Country, In Our Time, The Sun Also Rises, and The Snows of Kilimanjaro to the grand gesture seen in Faulkner s works such as Light in August (1932) and The Sound and the Fury (1929).
