- Annotation
- Compares Hemingway s early fiction and wartime correspondence to correspondence written by other soldiers of the period, arguing that Hemingway s stylistic inclination for irony, euphuism, and understatement was shared by his contemporaries, making them kindred spirits. Knodt discusses both their similar attitudes regarding their service while in the war and difficulties with postwar adjustment.
