Document Type

Annotation
Influence study comparing Hemingway’s adaptation of the pastoral tradition in “Big Two-Hearted River” to Brautigan’s postmodernist treatment in Trout Fishing in America (1967). Sugai argues that while Hemingway complicates the pastoral vision through Nick’s desire for civilized comforts such as canned provisions and coffee, Brautigan transforms Hemingway’s pastoral ideal into a commodity in the thriving capitalistic culture of the 1960s.
