- Annotation
- Argues the importance of Byzantine church music to the story. Gives historical information about the use of castrated boys in church choirs as well as Hemingway s ancestral connection to church music. Characterizes the story as a modern prose hymn, which celebrates the defeat accompanying faith and makes a powerful statement about the human condition in the chaotic modern age.
