Annotation
Examines Hemingway’s dismissal from the jury of the New Review’s annual literary contest due to his antifascist sentiments. Includes the four Italian newspaper articles that led New Review editor Samuel Putman to distance himself and his publication from Hemingway. Cirino considers the role of manipulated and “mangled” Italian translations of Hemingway’s works in the public perception of the author’s anti-Italianism and threat to Italy’s reputation.
