About This Item
Minneapolis, MN, U.S.A.: University of Minnesota Press, 1969. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. This book provides a critical analysis of five of Hemingways novels and a number of his short stories in order to demonstrate his use of style and technique, including satire. irony, and humor, in an attempt to purge both himself and his readers of the pretense, illusions, and sentiments of genteel American culture (light orange covers with black lettering, ends of spine slightly bumped; orange dust jacket is sunned along upper edge and spine with slight edge wear; otherwise a bright, clean, tight, unmarked copy)
