- Annotation
- Complicates the common view that Hemingway s simple sentences are meant to faithfully transcribe fact. Berman references Ludwig Wittgenstein s theories that language often falsifies and is a barrier to expression, arguing that Hemingway felt similarly. Identifies passages from The Sun Also Rises, particularly bar and caf scenes conveying nonverbal communication, exemplifying the complexity of Hemingway s plain language.
