- Annotation
- Compares Hemingway s novel with Covington s nonfiction book based on the author s spiritual renewal among Pentecostal snake handlers in the Appalachians. Jolliff argues that Hemingway s novel serves as an unconscious subtext for Salvation on Sand Mountain (1995) and discusses similarities in character, plot, and theme. Addresses each narrator s penchant for alcohol and danger and search for religious meaning in a chaotic, fragmented world.
