Based on the short story Among the Dahlias, this paper mainly probes into William Sansom's writing style featuring frequent contradictions between logistic reality and mental activities via detailed analysis of Sansom's writing techniques, careful diction and significant parallels with his other pieces of work. Further, this paper sheds light on the spiritual core beneath Sansom's style, which is the constant debate between being and nothingness in addition to the call for humanity and self consciousness.
