Inhaltsangabe

Turtle hearts,a Hemingway metaphor spoken by the old Cuban fisherman Santiago in The Old Man and the Sea,are hearts beating long after they have been butchered.Iceberg narrative is Hemingway’s metaphor to describe stories in which the bare surface-narrative is a deceptive tip.Beneath it is a huge theme of human interest,submerged and hidden.The main consideration in this book is the suffering mortals and their survival oeuvres in postwar-I Anglo-American Short Story vis-à-vis the butchery of old-world ties, experiential ruffles and existential dislocations that confront the teeming humanity of Euro-American landscapes.War and its ravages apart, merciless forces of nature oppress puny humans, typified by Hemingway’s Cuban Fisherman Santiago.Among the writers discussed in the book, Hemingway is most comprehensively treated.Veteran Anderson is kept between his younger contemporaries, Hemingway and Faulkner.Major British writers come within purview. The book discusses short-story’s submerged theme: how men react psychically to and get morphed by the schematic torture of nature or human history through the War and postwar phases in the 20th c and how Man comes to terms with his destiny.
