The Need for Narrative in Our Time: Hemingway’s "Tragic Adventure" and Regis University’s Stories from Wartime
Document Type
Book Chapter
Annotation
Connects real-life accounts of veterans and their lifelong quest to find meaning in their war experiences to the disparate vignettes and stories of In Our Time. Bowie rejects critical arguments that seek to neatly unify the narrative structure of In Our Time, arguing that the text’s confusions are necessary in understanding the multifaceted, uncertain, and individualized nature of war.
