- Annotation
- Manuscript study of the deleted ending, theorizing that Nick is recovering from feelings of entrapment by social demands rather than from psychological war wounds. Reading fishing as a metaphor for writing, Lamb interprets the story as a confession of Hemingway s views on the nature and vocation of writing. Concludes with a discussion of Cezanne s influence on the young author.
