Annotation
Treating the Nick Adams stories as a novel, Hannum looks at how the caesarian delivery and suicide in “Indian Camp” manifests itself in all areas of Nick’s life, including his relationship with his father, sexual encounter with Prudie, and wartime experiences. Frequent references to “The Battler,” “Big Two-Hearted River,” “A Way You’ll Never Be,” “Fathers and Sons,” “In Another Country,” “Now I Lay Me,” and “Ten Indians.”
