- Annotation
- Applies Argentine novelist Ricardo Piglia s narrative theory of conspiracy to Hemingway s Big Two-Hearted River and Ishmael Reed s Mumbo Jumbo (1972), arguing that each work contains a complot, the presence of a second, hidden story beneath the surface story. Kelman compares the complot to Hemingway s iceberg theory and describes how it arises for Nick Adams as the unnamable unknown of the swamp.
