- Annotation
- Outlines the pitfalls of interpreting illness through metaphor, drawing on Harry s gangrene in The Snows of Kilimanjaro. In her exploration of disease as metaphor and metaphor itself as disease, Davis contends that the illness has infected both Harry s body and writing, leaving him full of rot at the end.
