- Annotation
- Contends that reducing the novel to a satire about the Lost Generation obscures its promulgation of the protestant work ethic. Drawing on Hemingway s personal letters as well as the vignettes of In Our Time, Henn demonstrates Hemingway s regard for hard work. Concludes that Jake Barnes emerges as the novel s protagonist by virtue of his traditional American work ethic, which stands in contrast to the entertainment-oriented and gluttonous attitudes of his expatriate comrades.
