Wai Chee Dimock, professor at Yale, continues her analysis of Ernest Hemingway's In Our Time, part of the course Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Faulkner. She works through four additional clusters of chapters and interchapter vignettes, pairing close readings of stories including Soldier's Home, Mr. and Mrs. Elliot, Cat in the Rain, and Big Two-Hearted River with the surrounding vignette chapters. Dimock traces what she calls Hemingway's logics of expressivity and substitution, showing how displaced objects and clipped dialogue stand in for feeling the characters cannot state directly. She argues that Hemingway blends tragedy and comedy so that the resulting humor keeps shifting between irony and farce, and she treats this generic instability as central to his account of emotional resilience after trauma. The lecture builds directly on a prior session's framework and moves chapter by chapter through the book's back half.
