- Annotation
- Relies on the popular theories of early twentieth-century philosopher Henri Bergson to decipher Hemingway s representation of organic reality in the omitted portions of Big Two-Hearted River. Ortolano shows how a close reading of the story helps students grasp the healing of Nick s splintered consciousness and realized existential fulfillment within an ever-changing world. Closes with suggestions for a variety of assignments beyond the traditional literary analysis integrating Hemingway s fiction with Bergson s philosophy.
