- Annotation
- Discusses the suffering noncombatant featured in Hemingway s A Very Short Story, Fitzgerald s The Beautiful and the Damned (1922), Dos Passos s Three Soldiers (1921), and Faulkner s Soldiers Pay (1926), arguing that his feeling of humiliation stemming from his lack of frontline service is based on the lived experience of the authors. Gandal focuses on the protagonists intense mental anguish and how each deal with the social stigma associated with his noncombatant status, including rejection by women in search of higher-ranking men.
