- Annotation
- Notes Hemingway s admiration for Babel s work in his comparison of their lives and writings on war. Meyers discusses similarities in style and subject matter, including use of repetition and irony and emphasis on pain and personal courage. Despite these similarities, Meyers clarifies that the Russian writer was not an influence, since Hemingway had already developed his own modernist aesthetic before reading Babel. Compares interchapters of In Our Time and the beginnings of In Another Country and A Natural History of the Dead with Babel s war stories such as Dolgushov s Death and Salt.
