Title: Varieties of Nothing: Understatement and Anticlimax in Chekhov, Hemingway, and Carver
Author/Creator: Daniel Just
Publication Details: Modern Philology, Vol.121(4), pp.425-446
Annotation: As the title suggests, Just argues that understatement and anxiety play a considerable role in the fiction of Anton Chekhov, Hemingway, and Raymond Carver. For Just, each author writes about "nothing" to differing but successful effects, as he focuses on Hemingway's short stories in conversation with the other writers.
