Annotation
Influence study discussing the impact of Stein’s Geography and Plays (1922) and Joyce’s Ulysses (1922). Beall examines the story’s rhythmic repetition, spare dialogue, ambiguous ending, and ironic position between two bullfighting chapters to show how the lessons the young Hemingway learned from his modernist teachers were transformed to fit his own developing modernist aesthetic.
