Annotation
Traces the ways words lose potency, honesty, or authority in the stories. Argues that Hemingway, fresh from the loss of his manuscripts at Lausanne, was attempting to gain control over the event by minimizing the importance of words themselves. Concludes that words are never fully lost because Nick, like Hemingway, ultimately reclaims them.
