Annotation
Psychoanalytic interpretation of the impact of fatherlessness on Nick Adams’s sexual identity within the contemporary cultural context of American masculine ideals. Through close readings of “The End of Something,” “The Three-Day Blow,” and “Cross-Country Snow,” Dömötör concludes that Nick’s homosexual leanings represent effeminacy in the 1920s.
