Abstract: It is difficult to make sense of the almost absurdly extended descriptions of "Big Two-Hearted River" without an eye to the rise of advanced technologies. World War 1 made vivid the oppressive potential of modern technologies: the capacity to transform, homogenize, and discipline masses of bodies; yoke people of the industrial world to a single rhythm of temporality; and reach levels of speed beyond any traditional sense of human scale. In Our Time extends Hemingway's signature paratactic technique, so that we not only place sentence beside sentence, but individual stories beside vignettes, and both forms beside the extra-textual post 1914 military-industrial complex. Against the prewar utopian celebrations of ... Read More

Abstract: Apart from bullfighting, one of the topics Ernest Hemingway had a special affinity for was fine arts, particularly Goya and impressionist and cubist painters. Modern art and bulls represented a benchmark within his way of conceiving literature and reality as well as his understanding of life and death. In spite of the fact that the relationship between modern art and bullfighting in Hemingway's works is well documented (Watts 1971; MacDonald 1972; Grebstein, 1973; Hagemann 1979; Johnston 1984; Plath 1993; Gaillard 1999; Lawrence 2004; Berman 2004; and Narbeshuber 2013), the connection between avant-garde art and Hemingway's philosophical and aesthetic conception of bullfighting has not been extensively studied ...

Abstract: In late 1952, Ernest Hemingway began plans for a second African safari. His son Patrick was living in Kenya, and, Hemingway told his friend Slim Hayward, he wanted to "get the true gen on the Mau-Mau thing"—that is, to see for himself the uprising of indigenous Kikuyu against British landowners that had prompted colonial governor Sir Evelyn Baring to declare a state of emergency in October 1952. Meanwhile, he also looked forward to the opportunity to "make a fun Safari." He likely felt a trip to the African plain would be a respite from frequent interruptions by friends, media, scholars, and well-wishers. The Old Man and the Sea, published 1 September 1952, was an international sensation, and Hemingway faced more ... Read More

Abstract: Several roadmaps1 in the Hemingway Museum in Havana, Cuba have not yet been made public. Among these are the maps of North America that Hemingway probably used in the 1950s, which contain marginalia and highlighted travel routes. These roadmaps not only help fill the biographical gaps in his life and provide a better understanding of his movements, but also testify to the physical and cultural impact of United States on Cuba during the early Cold War era.The maps seem to capture Hemingway's Cuba-U.S. driving tours in the 1950s, and appear to be connected to "The Strange Country," his posthumously published short story. For example, the highlighted routes from Cuba through Key West to New Orleans or Ketcham, Idaho ... Read More

Abstract: "A home isn't just where you are, it's who you are."A principal task of literary scholarship is to ask questions about the power of literature: what are its shaping effects, origins, and resources' What are its consequences' How did the author's experiences and surroundings contribute to the themes, tone, setting, use of language and construction of character' Inasmuch as the words themselves are crucibles of this experience, Hemingway believed certain places are key components of the writing process: if an author's location sets the terms of their imagination, and therefore of their words, Hemingway's writing has a special kinship to the regions where he chose to live and to work—a kinship to Cuba, especially ...

Abstract: In 2004, family and friends of Antonio Gattorno, published an album entitled Gattorno, A Cuban Painter for the World. The 248-page text contains many intimate insights and 178 illustrations of the painter's work, including oil paintings, works on paper, and ceramics. The intention of this project is to suggest that the failure of the painter Antonio Gattorno (so famous in the twenties and thirties, but almost unknown in contemporary Cuban and the world of plastic arts) was due to advice he received from writer Ernest Hemingway in 1935.1As Séan Poole notes, "Antonio Gattorno came to the United States on the advice and with the constant prodding of his friend Ernest Hemingway" (28). Hemingway had told the young ... Read More

Abstract: In the fall of 1930, Ernest Hemingway was driving back to Billings, Montana, after a Yellowstone hunting trip with John Dos Passos. On the road there was an accident. In his letters Hemingway offers one explanation: an oncoming car, trying to pass another on the two-lane, ungraded gravel road, was in his lane, and he turned right to avoid it, driving into the deep roadside ditch and overturning his Ford convertible (Letters vol. 4, 400). The editors of the volume put forward another: that Hemingway was blinded by the lights of an oncoming car (395, n. 1). Whatever the cause Hemingway broke his right humerus—the upper arm—in "an oblique spiral fracture, nearly compound, three inches above the elbow" (Baker 217); Dos ... Read More

Abstract: J. Gerald Kennedy's Norton Critical Edition of Ernest Hemingway In Our Time is a welcome addition to Hemingway scholarship. In keeping with the series format, Kennedy provides an authoritative text along with key contextual materials (in this case, pertinent correspondence, journalism, early reviews, and the most telling and timely academic scholarship) such that readers become well-armed with a nuanced and luminous comprehension of Hemingway's first short story collection. Considering that Hemingway scholarship has tended to highlight many of the stories in In Our Time, particularly the Nick Adams stories, it is important to confront these stories and their inter-linking vignettes (Hemingway calls them Chapters) ...

Abstract: Ernest Hemingway's 1933 short story collection Winner Take Nothing is out of print in the United States. The only new copy now available from online booksellers comes from Arrow, a British imprint of the multinational Random House conglomerate; otherwise, American readers can access the collection only in the Finca Vigía edition of The Complete Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway. That implicit verdict alone suggests that history has not been kind to this book. Add to that the collection's problematic and often disturbing themes—including suicidal depression, prostitution, penis amputation, homosexuality, mental illness, sexually transmitted disease, and human decomposition—and it is perhaps understandable why so ...

Abstract: Ross Tangedal's well-researched monograph The Preface: American
Authors hip in the Twentieth Century contributes importantly to the series New Directions in Book History. Applying principles of Gerard Genette's Paratexts: Thresholds of Interpretation (1987), Tangedal analyzes prefaces written by major American authors from Willa Cather to Toni Morrison, noting their differing intentions from guiding readers to understand their texts, defending them from critics, revealing their writing processes, or selling their texts. In Chapter 1, "Introduction: An Influence on the Public," Tangedal emphasizes that prefaces for readers and scholars "frame the central text … prior to reading" (2). The preface, therefore, is not ... Read More

Abstract: Emily Robins Sharpe's Mosaic Fictions: Writing Identity in the Spanish Civil War is an informational and deeply analytical study of Canadian literature about the Spanish Civil War. The author explains that her intention is to provide an examination of the complexities of incorporating marginalized ethnic and racial groups within the ever-evolving Canadian identity. Sharpe sets out to achieve this with a comprehensive overview of how Jewish Canadian writers presented their country's participation in the Spanish Civil War and integrating these writings with overlapping North American writers through the perspective of race, religion, gender, nationality, and political affiliations. I appreciate Sharpe's breadth of ... Read More
