Annotation

Outlines the pitfalls of interpreting illness through metaphor, drawing on Harry’s gangrene in “The Snows of Kilimanjaro.” In her exploration of disease as metaphor and metaphor itself as disease, Davis contends that the illness has infected both Harry’s body and writing, leaving him full of rot at the end.
