Touches on their professional relationship as well as their frequent discussions regarding sexuality. Speculates at length on the causes behind the collapse of their friendship.]

Cutchins, Dennis. "All the Pretty Horse;. Cormac McCarthy's Reading of For Whom the Bell Tolls." Western American Literature 41.3 (Fall 2006): 267-299. [Comparison study of All the Pretty Horses (1992) with FWBT, contending that the bell tolling "at the beginning of McCarthy's novel is the writer's homage to his predecessor." Discusses similarities in theme, character, and situations, noting that at times McCarthy revises and corrects EH.

Dow, William. "The Perils of Irony in Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises." Etudes Anglaises: Grande-Bretagne, Etats-Unis 58.2 (Spring 2005): 178-192. [Takes issue with previous SAR irony studies focusing on exclusion and rejection of idealism. Dow contends that a linguistic and epistemological approach reveals how each character's search for self-knowledge relates to others. "Because The Sun Also Rises succeeds in establishing an indirect system of communication (and not a 'distance') between narrator and reader, there is a constant tension between dissimulation and revelation, humor and seriousness, fundamental to the processes of irony."]

Engel, Terry. "Jim Harrison's True North: A Contemporary Nick Adams Grows Up in Hemingway's 'Big Two-Hearted River' Country." Philological Review 31.1 (Spring 2005): 17-31. [Comparison of David Burkett of True North (2004) with Nick Adams of "Big Two-Hearted River." Both men retreat to the wilderness in search of spiritual healing. However, their differing internal struggles (family-based guilt vs. war reaction) reveal the true differentiation between the two texts--the immense societal changes occurring between World War I and the Vietnam War.]

Folkins, Gail. "From a Feast to the Moon--Two Journalists Define Paris." Lifewriting Annual: Biographical and Autobiographical Studies 1 (2005): 169-176. [Memoir study. Compares EH's account of Paris in MF (1964) to Adam Gopnik's Paris to the Moon (2000), concluding that "for Hemingway, Paris is a creative force actively spurring his own writing, while for Gopnik, Paris is a place whose culture he explores, always maintaining his distance from it.']

War, Literature, and the Arts: An International Journal of the Humanities 18.1-2 (2006): 279-300. [Comparison study examining how EH and Faulkner artistically and psychologically influenced each other through the writing of The Unvanquished (1938) and FWBT (1940). Fruscione specifically treats the common theme of intranational civil war as he discusses numerous parallels between the works, including "a structural-thematic focus on storytelling; similar imagery; focus on a set of resilient and courageous people on the losing side of the conflict; and illustration of the detrimental effects of a nation at war with itself."]

Glass, Loren. "#$%^&*!?: Modernism and Dirty Words." Modernism/ Modernity 14.2 (2007): 209-223. [Recounts EH's frequent skirmishes with editor Maxwell Perkins over his inclusion of "obscene" language. Their correspondence reveals EH's equation of censorship with emasculation. Glass turns to a discussion of Lawrence's use of obscenity in Lady Chatterley's Lover while analyzing the larger issues of obscenity in conjunction with the fundamental tenets of literary modernism.]

Greenberg, Paul. "A Fish Tale." The New York Times 156.54034 (12 Aug 2007): Sec. 7, P. 27. [Greenberg relates the disappointing results of his recent marlin charter while lamenting the steady decline in the world's big fish population. He attempts to determine EH's effect on the overall decline by calculating his fish kill. Using photographs and his own knowledge of fishing, Greenberg estimates EH's lifetime catch at 800 marlin and 200 bluefin tuna.]

Hemingway, Valerie. "Hemingway's Cuba, Cuba's Hemingway." Smithsonian 38.5 (August 2007): 66-76. [EH's former secretary and daughter- in-law recounts her recent visit to Havana, noting the numerous changes that have occurred over the past fifty years. Of the restored Finca Vigia, now a popular Cuban museum, she writes: "Now, the house, which was once so well worn and lived in--even a bit shabby in places--seemed crisp and pristine and crystallized in time."]

Holcomb, Gary Edward. "The Sun Also Rises in Queer Black Harlem: Hemingway and McKay's Modernist Intertext." Journal of Modern Literature 30.4 (Summer 2007): 61-81. [Comparison study of SAR (1926) with Claude McKay's Home to Harlem (1928), arguing that the novels mirror one another and together create a "bilateral intertext of the interwar period." Looks specifically at EH's use of modern primitivism and McKay's use of modernist angst in his novel of black proletarians, Considers how Ellison's controversial assessment of EH's literary influence sheds light on McKay's position within modernism. Holcomb's "broader aim is to set into motion a revisioning of the interaction between black transnational and modernist transatlantic studies."]

Marr, Matthew J. "Realism on the Rocks in the Generational Novel: 'Rummies, Rhythm, and Rebellion in Historias del Kronen and The Sun Also Rises." Generation X Rocks: Contemporary Peninsular Fiction, Film, and Rock Culture. Eds. Christine Henseler and Randolph D. Pope. Nashville, TN: Vanderbilt UP, 2007. 126-150. [Comparison study of SAR (1926) with Spanish novelist Jose Angel Manas's Historias del Kronen (1994), examining the common theme of substance abuse in relation to generational differentiation within a changing national culture.]

Miller, Linda Patterson. "Gerald Murphy in Letters, Literature and Life." Making It New: The Art and Style of Sara and Gerald Murphy. Ed. Deborah Rothschild. Berkeley: U of California P, 2007. 143-163. [Catalogue accompanying the exhibition on the Murphys and their artistic circle. Miller's essay focuses on those writers who included the Murphys as subjects in their works, e.g. EH, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and John Dos Passos. Drawing heavily upon 1920s and 1930s correspondence, Patterson Miller provides an extensive overview of the influence the Murphys had on literature of the period, focusing in particular on AMF and FWBT. EH's complicated relationship with the Murphys can be seen in AMF but is more evident in FWBT's Pablo and Pilar. "In Pilar, one of Hemingway's most powerful and unconventional female characters, Hemingway portrayed Sara's strength." Gerald's cowardice and moodiness are mirrored in Pablo.]

Miller, R.H. "Ernest Hemingway." American Icons: An Encyclopedia of the People, Places, and Things That Have Shaped Our Culture. Eds. Dennis Hall and Susan G. Hall. Westport [CT]: Greenwood P, 2006. 316-321. [Defends EH's status as an American icon, drawing on well-known biographical details. Contends that EH's popularity may rest on the contradictions between his life and work. While EH seemed to embody those qualities most valued by Americans (independence, courage, and masculinity), his writings exposed the hypocrisies and corruptions of American culture.]

Moran, Stephen T. "Autopathography and Depression: Describing the 'Despair Beyond Despair.'" Journal of Medical Humanities 27.2 (Summer 2006): 79-91. [Examines how EH, Fitzgerald, and Styron wrote about their depression as a way of understanding it. Contending that EH filled his fiction with characters suffering from psychiatric conditions and alcoholism much like his own, Moran argues that EH's metaphor of illness as a "generation's outlook" allowed him to deny the personal relevance of his psychiatric disorders. Reads the husband's situation in "Indian Camp" as a metaphor for profound depression. Looks briefly at Jake of SAR, concluding that both he and EH were "the sort of alcoholics who can drink all day and never get drunk." Comments briefly on the theme of suicide in "A Clean Well-Lighted Place," THHN, and FWBT.]

O'Hagan, Andrew. "Norman Mailer: The Art of Fiction No. 193." Paris Review 181 (Summer 2007): 44-80. [Interview. Mailer admires the simplicity of EH's prose style and notes his influence on young male novelists who fall into the trap of writing like him. Views EH's suicide as a warning to other writers: "When you're a novelist you're entering on ah extremely dangerous psychological journey, and it can blow up in your face."]

Paul, Steve. "'Drive,' He Said: How Ted Brumback Helped Steer Ernest Hemingway into War and Writing." The Hemingway Review 27.1 (Fall 2007): 21-38.

Trout, Steven. "Antithetical Icons? Willa Cather, Ernest Hemingway, and the First World War." Cather Studies 7.1 (2007): 269-287. [Although he acknowledges EH's relationship with Cather as a "disconnection" (limited to a few references found in correspondence), Trout argues that ah examination of IOT with The Professor's House provides a deeper understanding of the effects of World War I on American literature of the 1920s. Analyzes how each applies the theory of omission to emphasize the monstrousness of the Great War. Calls for a more thorough comparison of the authors beyond these two novels, pointing out that "both writers periodically acknowledge the same existential dilemma: how to live in a world without absolute meaning, a world broken in two."]

Tyler, Lisa. "'He was pretty good in there today': Reviving the Macho Christ in Ernest Hemingway's 'Today is Friday' and Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ." Journal of Men, Masculinities and Spirituality (online journal) 1.2 (2007): 155-169. http://www.jmmsweb.org/. [Compares EH's short story/play with Gibson's film, suggesting that each "is about the ways in which both men believed they had directly benefited from Christ's suffering." Looks at the influence of the nineteenth century "muscular Christianity" movement (combination of faith and athleticism) and their religiously conservative backgrounds on their art. Both use the Crucifixion "as a trope for the intense physical and mental suffering of depression" and believe Christ, through his suffering, provides hope for those like themselves who despair.]

Unrue, John C. "Ernest Hemingway." Nobel Prize Laureates in Literature, Part 2: Faulkner-Kipling. Detroit, MI: Gale, 2007. 309-325. [Biographical overview spanning EH's life from Oak Park to Ketchum. Lists major works as well as bibliographies and biographies. Concludes by reprinting Anders Osterling's 1954 Nobel Prize presentation speech on EH's contributions to the literary world and EH's acceptance speech.]
