- Annotation
- Applies Richard Rorty s neo-pragmatic theory of reading to the authorial silences found in Indian Camp. Concludes that a careful reading attunes the reader to story s destructive forces of racism and sexism. Comments briefly on the much-maligned Margot of The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber and Robert Cohn of The Sun Also Rises, contending that as with the woman in labor in Indian Camp, both characters possess the potential for engaging the aesthetic as well as the moral political sensibilities of the reader.
