- Annotation
- Discusses the awkward form of the book, postulating that the broken style functions to enhance the reader s experience by forcing immersion. Highlights Hemingway s use of praeteritio, the rhetorical trope of expressing what the author claims to omit, in his description of the minor art of bullfighting. Contends that the departure from his established aesthetic was necessary for the work to function as an effective exercise in empathy.
