Title
The Currents of Memory: Hemingway’s "Big Two-Hearted River" as Metafiction
Document Type
Book Chapter
Annotation
Surveys critical opinion on the story before moving into a discussion of its excised fragment, “On Writing.” Reads the deleted ending and the final version as parables on the nature of writing. Argues for the influence of Cézanne on both Nick’s life and art.
