- Annotation
- Explores distinctions between Hemingway s early and later styles, correcting myths that the author only wrote in short, simple sentences and that his style never changed. Analyzing passages from In Our Time, Cohen argues that the author s early style consisted of terse and objective writing, experimentation with run-ons and fragments, and his trademark compound structure. Demonstrating Hemingway s later styles, Cohen examines texts such as To Have and Have Not and Across the River and into the Trees, pointing to successful and failed experiments with compound-complex structure, point of view, and narrative voice. Concludes with a brief discussion of Hemingway s immeasurable influence on Western prose.
