Literary Devices In Lather and Nothing Else In the short story, Lather And Nothing Else, Hernando Tellez uses the literary devices of foreshadowing and imagery in significant ways to the story's narrative.

The customer, Torres inflicts fear on the Barber which abides him being right there in the Barber’s chair.
