Annotation
Biocritical approach arguing that Hemingway’s theory of omission lies in his early childhood. Interprets the absence of Oak Park from the author’s canon as evidence of his rejection of his mother’s controlling role. Azevedo examines the influence of Hemingway’s parochial upbringing on his writings, focusing on Krebs’s family dynamic.
