Title: Fish Stories: Revising Masculine Ritual in Eudora Welty s "The Wide Net"
Author/Creator: David McWhirter
Publication Details: Mississippi Quarterly, pp.35-58
Annotation: Examines Welty s revision and parody of modernist masculinity in her 1942 story, treating the story as a response to male contemporaries such as Eliot, Faulkner, and Hemingway who consistently wrote on the theme of men living without women. McWhirter explores Nick Adams s need for control and flight from women s reproductive functions in several In Our Time stories, particularly Indian Camp and Big Two-Hearted River.
