Telling the Stories that Can\u27t Be Told: Translating War in Hemingway, Vonnegut, and O\u27Brien

Abstract

Telling the Stories that Can\u27t Be Told: Translating War in Hemingway, Vonnegut, and O\u27Brien poses an examination on the use of innovative literary techniques in three examples of twentieth century war literature: Ernest Hemingway\u27s In Our Time, Kurt Vonnegut\u27s Slaughterhouse-Five, and Tim O\u27Brien\u27s The Things They Carried. Among others, this thesis considers the use of modernist and post-modernist techniques, as well as the conscious articulation of literary genesis as a means of achieving authenticity in war literature
