Document Type
Book Chapter
Annotation
Relies on letters, short stories, and sketches to prove the importance of all of France to Hemingway’s life and work. Compares the descriptions of France and Spain in The Sun Also Rises to counter critics who dismiss Hemingway’s affinity for France, and points to The Garden of Eden as a text that proves his lasting devotion.
