- Annotation
- Draws on trauma theory in her study of the ways in which Hemingway s war-strained narratives represent masculinity. Anderson focuses on Hemingway s wounded soldiers, especially Richard Cantwell of Across the River and into the Trees, to demonstrate the effect that the culture of postwar masculinity had on Cantwell s restricted retelling of his war stories. Concludes that Cantwell negotiates between two selves one, the soldier, in which his masculinity is assured; and one, a traumatized self, who is disabled, emasculated, and guilty.
