Article
Annotation
Influence study focusing on the impact of Hemingway’s explorations of sexuality and sexual identity in The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, and “The Sea Change” on Gale Wilhelm’s We Too Are Drifting (1935). Haytock finds similarities in writing style, plot, symbolism, and tropes such as “twinning,” arguing that for both authors, “social opinion creates a reality from which characters cannot escape.” Also draws parallels with the later The Garden of Eden, concluding that each author was seeking social change through their writing.
