Annotation
Describes how Finney, Hemingway’s friend and the first reader of the novel’s manuscript, may have been the source for the technical error regarding demolition equipment introduced into chapter thirty-three. Contends that Hemingway’s willingness to so quickly adopt Finney’s erroneous suggestion reveals Hemingway’s insecurity as a writer and need for approval.
