Document Type
Book Chapter
Annotation
Introduces strategies for incorporating Across the River and into the Trees into courses on war and trauma literature, focusing on the relationship between injury and masculinity. Anderson opens with a discussion of “In Another Country” to lay the groundwork for the novel’s thematic elements of dissociation, emotional repression, and emasculation. Includes topics for discussion such as Cantwell’s resistance to confession, process of mental recovery, and the novel’s omission of Cantwell’s trauma.
