American Expatriate Fictions and the Ethics of Sexual Difference
Document Type
Essay
Annotation
Considers Hemingway, alongside Gertrude Stein, Henry Miller, and Anäs Nin, as a writer whose relocation to culturally progressive Paris allowed him to reject rigid American cultural boundaries and explore alternative moral codes and gender identities. Halliwell analyzes The Sun Also Rises considering Luce Irigaray’s An Ethics of Sexual Difference (1993), and finds that the novel’s gender roles, particularly of Jake and Brett, approximate the intertwining and self-transformation prescribed by Irigaray’s work.
