Current bibliography.

[The current bibliography aspires to include all serious
contributions to Hemingway scholarship. Given the substantial quantity
of significant critical work appearing on Hemingway's life and
writings annually, inconsequential items from the popular press have
been omitted to facilitate the distinction of important developments and
trends in the field. Annotations for articles appearing in The Hemingway
Review have been omitted due to the immediate availability of abstracts
introducing each issue. Kelli Larson welcomes your assistance in keeping

BOOKS
Broer, Lawrence R. Vonnegut and Hemingway: Writers at War.
Columbia, SC: U of South Carolina P, 2011. [Comparative study arguing
that "Vonnegut's life and work exist as a veritable palimpsest
of Hemingway's." Broer examines their shared legacy of
childhood trauma, disabling war experience, and depression and its
impact on their writing, contending that despite Vonnegut's
numerous attempts to exorcise EH's ghost, his fictional
self-creations mirrored the Hemingway hero's quest for wholeness
and psychic balance. Pairing works such as SAR with Mother Night, FTA
with Slaughterhouse-Five, and DIA with Breakfast of Champions, Broer
demonstrates how each "artist warrior" was not only at war
with himself but also with the other's artistic vision, and with
the concept of war itself. The study closes with an examination of
EH's discovery of the transformative power of the buried feminine
self in his later works, including FWBT, OMS, IIS, GOE, and UK.]

Major Writers Series). 4 vols. New York: Routledge, 2012. [Extensive

del Gizzo, Suzanne and Frederic J. Svoboda, eds. Hemingway's
The Garden of Eden: Twenty-five Years of Criticism. Kent, OH: Kent State
UP, 2012. [Collection of mainly reprinted essays and reviews on the
novel's composition, themes, narrative structure, and subject
matter such as gender, sexuality, and race. This volume provides an
overview of the critical conversation on the novel to date, including
essays by such well known EH scholars as Mark Spilka, Rose Marie
Burwell, and Carl Eby. Includes one previously unpublished essay by Tom
Jenks on the trials and tribulations of working with EH's
manuscripts and his editorial process in bringing GOE to press.]
Dudley, Marc K. Hemingway, Race, and Art: Bloodlines and the Color
Line. Kent, OH: Kent State UP, 2012. [Study of the racial consciousness
challenging white privilege and socially constructed notions of racial
identity that permeates EH's writings. Begins with close readings
of EH's treatment of Native Americans and African-Americans in
several stories including "Indian Camp," "The Doctor and
the Doctor's Wife," "The Battler," and "The
Porter" before moving on to an examination of his complex
relationship with Africa in "The Snows of Kilimanjaro,"
"The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber," GHOA, and UK.
Reads EH's concern with race as a reflection of the nation's
growing anxiety in the early 20th century over the changing racial
landscape. Chapter 4 appeared in slightly revised form as
"Killin'em with Kindness: 'The Porter' and
Hemingway's Racial Cauldron" in The Hemingway Review 29.2
(Spring 2010): 28-45.]
Fruscione, Joseph. Faulkner and Hemingway: Biography of a Literary
Rivalry. Columbus: Ohio State UP, 2012. [Biographical and analytical
study examining EH and Faulkner's complicated and contentious
relationship of more than three decades. Fruscione demonstrates through
their fiction, nonfiction, correspondence, and public statements how
each informed and influenced the writing of the other and how their
competitive rivalry simultaneously hindered and supported their literary
efforts. Fruscione analyzes their corresponding writings decade by
decade, arguing that their allusive works "form a kind of modernist
intertext that traces a narrative of intense rivalry, joint
psychological influence, rifting, and complementary authorial-masculine
performance." Pairings include FTA with The Sound and the Fury,
FWBT with The Unvanquished, THHN with Men at War, and DS and GHOA with
Go Down, Moses and Big Woods. Chapter 3 appeared in somewhat revised
form as "Hemingway, Faulkner and the Clash of Reputations" in

Hays, Peter L. The Critical Reception of Hemingway's The Sun
Also Rises (Literary Criticism in Perspective Series). New York: Camden
House, 2011. [Surveys the eight decades of criticism devoted to the
novel from initial 1926 reviews to the latest developments in Hemingway
studies. Introduction provides an overview of the novel's
composition and publication history. Hays discusses the beginnings of
in-depth criticism in the late 1940s, the expansion of the Hemingway
industry in the 1960s and 70s, and the impact of critical theories from
the 1970s onward. In focusing on the range of criticism, Hays reveals
how the novel's changing interpretations often reflect the critics
and their cultural concerns more than the novel itself. Concludes that
the scholarly industry on SAR "shows little sign of
slackening."
Herlihy, Jeffrey. In Paris or Paname: Hemingway's Expatriate
Nationalism. New York: Rodopi, 2011. [On the function of place and
cultural displacement in EH's novels, including SAR, FTA, FWBT,
ARIT, and OMS. Herlihy examines EH's thematic preoccupation with
foreign settings in relation to his protagonists' sense of
identity, expatriate experience, and failed attempts at assimilation.
Argues that the Hemingway hero, while longing for redefinition within a
foreign culture, is unable to completely overcome his origins and thus
fails to fully integrate into that foreign culture. Includes previously
published material from The Hemingway Review, European Journal of
American Studies, North Dakota Quarterly, and Metamorphosis and Place
(2009).]

American essayist Dwight Macdonald's well known critique of
EH's and Eliot's later works as middlebrow as the basis for
his own examination of how OMS (1952) in contrast to "The
Undefeated" (1927) addresses the incoherencies of postwar modernist
literature and thus reveals an opposing aesthetic philosophy. Perrin
writes that OMS "represents an author forced implicitly to
acknowledge his middlebrow aesthetic because of an inability, despite
