Annotation
On the importance of place in literature, closely examining how place inhabits a writer and contributes to the writer’s concept of self. Draws on “The Snows of Kilimanjaro” as a vehicle for discussing the relationship of place and memory, suggesting that Harry’s reveries reveal that we do not inhabit places as much as they inhabit us.
