[lit-ideas] Re: nameless celebrities?

In Hemingway's story 'The Cat in the Rain,' the central character (I'd 
say) is called only 'The American wife,' and later, 'The American girl.' 
The 'American husband,' as he is first referred to is later identified, 
but simply as 'George.' He is the only named character. Besides The 
American Wife, and George, there are the hotelkeeper and the maid.

My apologies if I am clogging people's inboxes but . . .après moi. . .
