Annotation
Explores Hemingway’s complex authorial presence in his experimental work of memory interweaving fact with fiction. Cain distinguishes the narrator-character whom the writer portrays from the tortured writer himself to show the author’s disturbing preoccupation with death, fear, anger, desperation, and despair. Concludes that the book’s devastating self-portrait is “visceral and relentless.”
