Annotation
Rather than the 1922 of Ulysses and The Waste Land, posits 1925 as the year modernism "went mainstream" in light of the publication of Mrs. Dalloway, The Great Gatsby, Manhattan Transfer, and In Our Time. Highlights Hemingway's accomplishment of understatement in "Big Two-Hearted River," which made "clear that the solution to the problem of representing a collective trauma like World War I was not blabbering effusion, but its opposite."
