Annotation
Analyzes Hemingway’s concern with market forces on artists’ aesthetic ideals and insulated artistic sanctuaries (1920s Paris and Bimini) to demonstrate the posthumous novel’s thematic coherence. Maintains that in his attempt to recreate Paris on the island, Hudson comes to recognize his own complicity in corrupting his artistic integrity by pandering to market demands, and eventually acknowledges his tangential relationship to the high modernists of Hemingway’s Paris. Ulin connects Hudson to Hemingway’s other artist-protagonist mired in economic structure, David Bourne of The Garden of Eden.
