Gestures of Healing: Anxiety and the Modern Novel
Document Type
Book
Annotation
Scattered references to Hemingway throughout, arguing for the author’s hatred of his mother as the source of the anxiety, loss of self, and chaos permeating his writing. Cursory look at “A Clean, Well-Lighted Place,” “Now I Lay Me,” A Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and others.
