- Annotation
- Investigates Hemingway s reliance on his own eyewitness perspective in his reporting for NANA, a convention of 1930s journalism geared to persuade and engage readers. Defends the author against charges of biased reporting, arguing that emphasizing his perspective and signature style fulfilled his editor s and readers expectations. Discusses the role of censorship, as well as Hemingway s anxieties for his own safety and desire to continue reporting from inside Spain, in shaping his dispatches. Analyzes the author s artful crafting, akin to creative nonfiction, in A New Kind of War, American Veterans Tell of Escaping Insurgents, and others.
