Tracks Hemingway’s early relationship with publishers Boni and Liveright and Charles Scribner’s Sons. Provides a detailed history of Scribner’s advertising efforts focused on The Torrents of Spring, The Sun Also Rises, Men Without Women, A Farewell to Arms and a reissued collection of In Our Time. Fenstermaker argues for the extensive promotion of Hemingway’s work as evidence of the publisher’s confidence in the young writer and his potential for popularity with an American audience.
