Annotation
Close analysis of Hemingway’s interest in and use of the bicycle as a representation of motion and speed to capture the fourth dimension. Connects this image to other contemporary avant-garde Paris intellectuals and artists, especially the futurists. Inventories Hemingway’s use of bicycles in various works, elaborating on bicycle racing in The Sun Also Rises, Nick’s ride across a battlefield in “A Way You’ll Never Be,” and German troops bicycling through a line of retreat in A Farewell to Arms.
