- Annotation
- Arguing against realist interpretations, Harris reads the story as a modernist rebus made up of encrypted clues hidden in plain sight. Identifies Hemingway s World War I experience as key to understanding the story s theme of war trauma, drawing on a 1918 pictographic letter and manuscripts in his examination of the story s contradictions, wordplay, and repetition.
