- Annotation
- Draws on Freud s theory of humor and Hemingway s casual references to atomic bombs in the novel and elsewhere to trace the author s evolving attitude toward warfare following the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Yanagisawa posits that Hemingway s change in writing style and comic stance found in his cold war novel reflects his recognition of the worthlessness of the battlefield with its shift away from inhumanity to global a-humanity in the atomic age.
