Why did John Hersey choose to write Hiroshima in a dry and journalistic tone?
Hiroshima was originally an Article in the New York Times, which would explain the journalistic tone. However, he also chose to write this way so that his character's stories could speak for them self in the most unbiase way possible. This is a quote from John Hersey that I found when I did an essay on exactly this: "The flat style was deliberate, and I still think I was right to adopt it. A high literary manner, or a show of passion, would have brought me into the story as a mediator; I wanted to avoid such mediation, so the reader's experience would be as direct as possible." (John Hersey; Rothman)
