- Annotation
- Close analysis of Hemingway s language at the word level, examining the use of and in the novel s title as well as the novel s opening sentence and initial scene. Gajdusek argues that the function of the novel s title, to connect one side with the other, is integral to the novel s theme of redemptive crossover. Characterizes Hemingway s style in this work as highly contrived and endlessly intricate in its every detail.
