- Annotation
- Tsuji contends that Hemingway s plain style is a reaction against the effeminacy of nineteenth-century realism. Offers a queer reading focused on the performative nature of each text s style and challenges those identifying a homosexual theme in The Battler to interrogate how such a reading can make the story more creative and imaginative.
