Author/Creator: Thomas Strychacz
Publication Details: Hemingway Review, Vol.19(2), pp.23-46
Annotation: Contends that while many have lamented Green Hills of Africa s rhetorical excesses, scholars should in fact be reading Hemingway s prose on Africa as a rhetorical performance considering the narrative s basic themes of exploitation and wasteful consumption. Concludes that Hemingway s rhetorical strategies foster a reevaluation of the nature of waste itself.
