  • Summary

  • Welcome to the eighth of our eighteen shows celebrating the centenary of the Paris edition of Hemingway’s book of vignettes, in our time.

    On the heels of the vignette about Nick's war injury, this bombardment scene evokes the idea that there are no atheists in foxholes while, at the same time, capturing the transactional nature of religion during wartime. We discuss various ways this vignette treats the topic of religion, try to gain a sense of the narrator's identity, and draw connections to other works such as A Farewell to Arms and "A Way You'll Never Be."
