Annotation
Broad overview of Hemingway’s experiences in Africa, pointing out parallels between such works as “Safari” and Green Hills of Africa and Bellow’s Henderson the Rain King (1959). Anderson writes: “Hemingway’s reality, although he would deny it, is of the memory, transmuted by talent and imagination, into myth, the point at which Bellow’s African reality, begins and ends.”
