Annotation
Examines themes of masculinity and sexuality within the novel, focusing on Jake’s impotence, traditional masculine action in Pamplona, and Jake and Bill’s erotic banter while fishing. Concludes that the text “ultimately advocates a return to nineteenth-century gender/sexual boundaries rather than a fundamental re- or de-categorization of sexuality identity.”
