- Annotation
- Draws on philosophies of contemporary cultural critic Ludwig Wittgenstein in his examination of the complex relationship between thought and fact in Hemingway s writing. Berman analyzes how productive thought follows observation in The Killers, Soldier s Home, The Sun Also Rises, Death in the Afternoon, and elsewhere, concluding that for Hemingway experiential knowledge trumps abstract knowledge from the battlefield to the corrida.
