- Reads The Butterfly and the Tank as an allegory of the breakup of Hemingway s twenty-five-year friendship with John Dos Passos over the execution of Jos Robles, characterizing Dos Passos as the na ve idealist and Hemingway as the cynical realist. Ott discusses the challenges Hemingway faced in finding a suitable ending for the story, drawing on typescript versions in his analysis.
