Annotation
Draws a brief comparison between Jake Barnes of The Sun Also Rises and the protagonist of Bellow’s novel, commenting that both texts convey a postcolonial departure from Western supremacy. Watson concludes that the broadened geographical scope of Henderson the Rain King (1959) reflects the post-World War II globalization of U.S. cultural influence.
