Title: Hemingway s Secret Histories
Author/Creator: David Wyatt
Publication Details: Hopkins Review, Vol.2(4), pp.485-504
Annotation: Makes a case for reading and teaching Indian Camp as the true beginning of In Our Time. Gives a close reading of the story along with an analysis of its thematic and stylistic connections with the volume s other stories/vignettes. Reads Nick s initiation as key to understanding the whole collection, uncovering a crucial site of American memory, the primal and largely forgotten ur-place out of which the United States was violently born. Discusses other stories about Native Americans and the theme of haunting pasts, including Now I Lay Me, Fathers and Sons, and For Whom the Bell Tolls. Also published as Performing Maleness in Secret Histories: Reading Twentieth-Century American Literature, 53-67. Baltimore, MD: Johns Hopkins University Press, 2010.
