- Annotation
- Discusses the retrospective narrative s stylized resistance to accessing the lived experience of the story world it creates. Tanner argues that the reader s inability to imaginatively connect with the novel s romantic plot is linked to Frederic Henry s grieving process in which he must cope with both Catherine Barkley s presence and absence. Explores at length the novel s intermittent representations of sensory perception and emotion, especially in its final scenes.
