- Annotation
- Examines how various writers absorbed and responded to Hemingway's iceberg theory of omission and compression, including Albert Camus in L'Étranger (1942) and especially, though perhaps surprisingly, D.H. Lawrence. Lawrence had reviewed In Our Time and recognized its "short, sharp, vivid" achievements. Examines how two versions of his story "Sun" can be read in the iceberg context. Refers to "Big Two-Hearted River," "Hills Like White Elephants," and other Hemingway touchstones as the chapter describes the story's psycho-sexual components and contextual ideas ranging from Etruscan pre-history to Roland Barthes.
