Title: Contagion as Metaphor
Author/Creator: Cynthia J. Davis
Publication Details: American Literary History, Vol.14(4), pp.828-836
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.
