With respect to Hemingway’s fiction, critics have tended to concentrate on story rather than discourse. The Sun also rises and A Farewell to Arms have been the focus of discussions Of the “lost generation,” the effects of World War I, the Hemingway “code” and existential philosophy. The discourse Of these texts has been virtually ignored except in studies Of style. Narrative theory is not concerned with mere style. It suggests that we have been overlooking a major part Of the fictional equation.
