Title: Insomnia and the Psychoanalytical Reading of Hemingway s "Now I Lay Me"
Author/Creator: David Buckham
Publication Details: Inter Action, Vol.4, pp.104-109
Annotation: Explores the seemingly contradictory nature of sleep in Big Two-Hearted River and Now I Lay Me, claiming in the later story that Nick s insomnia serves as a psychological defense against his traumatic war memories by creating a childhood screen memory, purportedly a manifestation of Nick s repressed fear of emasculation.
