Book Chapter
Annotation
Examines the marginalization or omission of blacks and working-class whites in nine early stories, including “The Killers,” “The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber,” “The Undefeated,” “The Battler,” “Big Two-Hearted River,” and “The End of Something.” Marshall reveals how the lack of human will within these two groups highlights the idealized white American identity permeating Hemingway’s works.
