Annotation

Influence study identifying Thomas Mann’s work as a major source by explicating similar themes, techniques, characters, and story arcs. Extended discussion of the relative time dimension found in both novels. Adair suggests that Hemingway’s story “updates” Mann’s metaphor of a culture wishing for death.
