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.

Focuses on biases found in various Arabic translations of OMATS that turn EH into a "verbose, repetitive, and religious writer."]

Only paragraph four remains outside the structure, serving as a pivotal point separating the text into "before" and "after."]

[Reads "Making It Home," Berry's 1992 story of a returning soldier's quest for restoration, as a "conscious response" to "Big Two-Hearted River." In his comparison of the two stories, Crowe uses Berry's qualified appreciation for EH's story as a way of understanding Berry's own literary values and aspirations. Concludes that unlike Nick, Art undergoes a restorative transformation allowing him to reintegrate with his family and resume his life as a farmer.]

Dibble, Phillip, MD. "A Walk with Gregory Hemingway." Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Journal of Florida Literature 15 (2007): 203-212. [Recounts his 2000 walk on the beach with Gregory, EH's youngest son.

The Gun and the Pen: Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Faulkner and the Fiction of Mobilization. New York: Oxford UP, 2008. 123-150. [Argues that the sense of loss and woundedness found in EH's SAR, Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, and Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury stems not from these authors' horrific experiences in World War I but rather from their rejection by the U.S. military. Their inability to fully participate in the War affected their social status by excluding them from mobilization into a new meritocratic army which included ethnic Americans. Gandal cites Ettore Moretti passages from FTA to support his contention that SAR reflects EH's feelings of rivalry with ethnic minorities. Sees Jake's "wound as a symbol of diminished manhood in the face of an implicit rejection or underappreciation by the armed forces--the tyrannical arbiter of masculinity in the era." Reads SAR within the historical contexts of mobilization and the sexual revolution of the period, suggesting that while Jake rejects the army's egalitarian teachings regarding ethnic Americans, he accepts them regarding the egalitarian treatment of women. Frequently compares SAR with The Great Gatsby.]

In her assessment of their relationship, Moddelmog suggests that "Hoover and Hemingway, both overly sensitive and anxious about their masculinity, would develop an antipathy toward each other."]

Scott, Steven. "Santiago, Scheherazade, and Somebody: Storytelling from Hemingway to Barth." Mattoid 55 '(2006): 74-88. [Reads OMATS as a modernist experiment bridging the gap between modernism and postmodernism. Suggests Scheherazade's fifth tale of Sinbad from The Thousand Nights and One Night as source for the novel, noting numerous similarities including the title. Closes with a discussion of Barth's use of the travels of Sinbad in his novel The Last Voyage of Somebody the Sailor but argues that while the general reader need not be aware of the source when reading OMATS, knowledge of the voyages of Sinbad is essential when reading Barth's version because he retells and interprets the original tale.]

Strychacz, Thomas. Dangerous Masculinities: Conrad, Hemingway, and Lawrence. Gainsville: UP of Florida, 2008.

Pp. 48-72: "Making a Mess of Manhood in Hemingway's 'The Capital of the World.'" [Drawing on performance, gender, and masculinity theories, Strychacz analyzes EH's problematic representation of masculinity, focusing on true and false (original and copy) constructions of manhood repeated throughout the story. As a masculine performance, the story's critical reception reveals much about audience, particularly the social, cultural, and historical currents underlying early Hemingway scholarship. In order to agree on EH's strong adherence to tough masculine codes, early critics had to smooth over their differences on the definition of masculinity and its embodiment within texts.]

Pp. 73-103: "The Construction of Hemingway: Masculine Style and Styleless Masculinity" [Reception-based approach focusing on the first half of the 20th century and analyzing the theatrical nature of Hemingway's work, an area largely overlooked by scholars. Strychacz treats the overriding professional anxieties present in male scholars in relation to constructions of manhood and masculine style in Hemingway's fiction. "Those men demonstrated powerful yearnings for stable, self-evident, and universal masculine attributes, and for comprehensible, solid-seeming texts of masculine awakening. And they strove to maintain the hegemony of their conventional ways of thinking about manhood-fashioning even as the very nature of their professional work seemed to insist on a very different and much more problematic relationship." Gives passing commentary on the ultra masculine Morgan of THHN and Cantwell of ARIT.]

Tsuji, Hideo. "Cuba Libre at Odds: Hemingway, Twain, and the Spanish-American War." Mark Twain Studies 2 (October 2006): 91-93.

Valis, Noel. "Hemingway's The Fifth Column, Fifthcolumnism, and the Spanish Civil War." The Hemingway Review 28.a (Fall 2008): 19-34.

--. "Hemingway's War" Teaching Representations of the Spanish Civil War. Ed. Noel Valis. New York: Modern Language Association of America, 2007. 258-266. [Pedagogical approach inviting students to become active translators of EH's language experiments in FWBT. Reads the novel as cross-cultural because EH crosses cultures within the work. Hemingway s use of language (both English and Spanish) highlights a complex interplay between insider-outsider cultures, some, but not all, of which the novelist was acutely aware." Because of the inherent bias of translation, Valis warns of the dangers of reading the novel's depiction of the Spanish conflict as anything other than "Hemingway's war."]

Vare, Robert and Daniel B. Smith. "Fifty Grand." The American Idea: The Best of the Atlantic Monthly: 150 Years of Writers and Thinkers Who Shaped Our History. Eds. Robert Vare and Daniel B. Smith.

[Discusses both Picasso's and EH's fascination with pain, brutality, and sexuality, culminating in the corrida. Mentions briefly a number of Hemingway heroes suffering from leg traumas reminiscent of thigh wounds suffered by bullfighters: Frederic Henry (FTA), Robert Jordan (FWBT), and Harry ("The Snows of Kilimanjaro"). "Like Hemingway, Picasso concentrates on the mutilated body in pain, and like Hemingway, he combines this theme with an interrogation on masculinity, which reflects in both artists their conflicting relations with women"]
