How Did The Killers Influence Raymond Carver
The Killers initiated a movement in American fiction and had an great influence on the book of Raymond Carver and other authors. We can notice many good sentences. The first one can be noticed in the book of the setting. Hemingway says: Outside it was getting dark. The street-light came on outside the window. The two men at the counter read the menu. From the other end of the counter Nick Adams watched them. He had been talking to George when they came in. (The Killers) HE uses only few short sentences to write and create characters, and to describe the atmosphere. His vocabulary is small and devoid of florid excess. One thing that can be talked about Hemingway’s style is that he usually make good use of lexical and syntactical repetition.
