Description
"Anderson explores the richness of Hemingway's short story "The Snows of Kilimanjaro," widely considered Hemingway's greatest, and introduces a new critical term, "Man on Trail," borrowed from Jack London.

He demonstrates that the man-on-trail plot was an instinctive structure for Hemingway"--
