Title: Text, Ritual, and Memory: Hemingway s "Big Two-Hearted River"
Author/Creator: Max Westbrook
Publication Details: North Dakota Quarterly, Vol.60(3), pp.14-25
Annotation: Manuscript study. Opens by speculating on editorial changes that need to be made to the text, including spelling and punctuation corrections. Argues that because Big Two-Hearted River is not a war trauma story, Now I Lay Me is an inappropriate lens for reading it. Discusses the ritualistic elements of the story that enable Nick to return to his prewar self as a memory.
