- Annotation
- Knodt draws on correspondence, interviews, and manuscripts in her chronological reading of Hemingway s Italian war stories, In Another Country, Now I Lay Me, and A Way You ll Never Be, to show the author s gradual closing in on his own traumatic wounding through his thematic exploration of courage, fear, and death. Opens with an analysis of the vagueness of battle found in the early Soldier s Home and Big Two-Hearted River before moving into an examination of the progressively detailed descriptions of battlefield experiences depicted in the later narratives. Argues that with A Way You ll Never Be, the author is finally able to capture the essence of his psychological and physical wounding at Fossalta fifteen years after the event.
