- Annotation
- Contends that J.R.R. Tolkien's expressed intention to rely on omissions in his narratives-"I feel it is better not to state everything"-resembles Hemingway's so-called Iceberg Theory. Traces Hemingway's thoughts and published statements about omission and the iceberg before examining examples from Tolkien's work and pertinent studies.
