From the supplier: The short story, 'Soldier's Home,' provides a good example of Ernest Hemingway's technique for eliciting inferences from the reader by omitting critical details from the narrative. Harold Krebs, the story's soldier protagonist, is reluctant to talk to local girls after returning from World War I. The reason for his defensiveness is never explicitly given. Instead, Hemingway drops hints leading the reader to infer Krebs has already suffered through an intense and unsuccessful love affair. By subtly suggesting Krebs' experiences, Hemingway displays a sophisticated narrative style in this early story.
