Annotation
Compares high literature with mass culture, assessing Hemingway’s skill in merging the two within his work. Relying on Roland Barthes’s naturalization theories, Harmon examines the authentic and the normal within A Moveable Feast, commending the author’s ability to maintain a “half-literary, half-popular” voice in his works, especially in A Moveable Feast, Green Hills of Africa, and Death in the Afternoon.
