Essay
Annotation
Explores Hemingway’s contributions to American minimalism through a close reading and stylistic analysis of the author’s precise molding of narrative in the stories and vignettes of In Our Time. Clark draws on manuscripts to illustrate Hemingway’s theory of omission in action, focusing on his use of spare details and nonintrusive narration to achieve emotional depth and thematic complexity.
