Title: Hemingway s Iceberg Theory
Author/Creator: Toshihiro Maekawa
Publication Details: North Dakota Quarterly, Vol.68(2-3), pp.36-48
Annotation: Analyzes successful and unsuccessful examples of Hemingway s practice of omission in stories such as Big Two-Hearted River and Hills Like White Elephants, differentiating between the author s theory and other conventional methods of omission. Suggests that Hemingway s theory is only successful when the tip of the iceberg has been carefully carved.
