- Annotation
- Examines the multilayered experience of reading by focusing on cognitive, emotive, and ethical constructs within the narrative. Connects Now I Lay Me with other stories in Men Without Women, claiming that its ethical force depends on readers participation in the set of questionable values that underlie it, specifically the troubling analogy between wives and mortar shells.
