- Tyler, Lisa (January 1, 2006). "Dangerous Families and Intimate Harm in Hemingway's 'Indian Camp'". Texas Studies in Literature and Language. 48 (1): 18. “Indian Camp,” described as one of the best in the collection, dramatizes what appears to be Adams' first confrontation with profound personal suffering. In Our Time, Hemingway explores men's responses. Human and animal suffering, and especially women's suffering, affect their characters. The child who cannot separate cannot see another suffering and replaces attentive love with fantasy. Nick never has the chance to learn how to reciprocate, to see his mother’s suffering in a way that would have made her feel compassion for him.
