Author/Creator: Amihud Gilead
Publication Details: Philosophy & Literature, Vol.32(1), pp.119-129
Annotation: Compares Hemingway s apocryphal short story of only six words ( For sale: baby shoes, never worn ) to Frederic Brown s two sentence story entitled Knock, concluding that Hemingway s story creates greater emotional impact because there is no possibility of consolation or relief.
