- Annotation
- Analyzes the style and structure of Kromer s 1935 novel, briefly arguing for Hemingway s influence on the author s pared-down prose in his representation of the day to day suffering of the common stiff during the Great Depression. Notes Kromer s greater range of vocabulary and aversion to heavy dialogue as a departure from Hemingway s iconic style.
