- Annotation
- Opens with an exploration of how the literary grotesque for post-World War I authors became a means of characterizing war, arguing that for Hemingway the grotesque signified degeneration. Analyzes how the author uses the grotesque in For Whom the Bell Tolls to violate conventional boundaries, like the division between human and animal, to define what it means to love and be human, especially in time of great conflict.
