- Annotation
- Describes the damage that a variety of authors, including Hemingway, saw plaguing language s capacity for expression in postwar times. Analyzes Hemingway s prose style as an expression of the harm war-glorifying words have on the English language. Contends that Hemingway s solution to the problem of abstract language was to shift from a snapshot perspective to a camera-eye aesthetic, thus imitating the multifocal scope of film. Brief references to The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, Death in the Afternoon, and others.
