A Farewell to Arms

Our Take
Hemingway's iceberg theory applied to love and war and death. What's left unsaid crushes you. Lieutenant Henry tries to escape the war and finds that love is not a refuge but another front. The ending is Hemingway at his coldest — four words that empty the room entirely.
