- Annotation
- Demonstrates how the paratexts physically connected to Death in the Afternoon help to clarify its ambiguous genre, unusual structure, and alienating subject matter. Bredendick analyzes the book s title, jacket, frontispiece, dedication, table of contents, and bibliographical note, arguing that Hemingway s oblique use of paratexts signals that the work should be read simultaneously as a bullfighting manual and work of literary art.
