Fathers, Lovers, and Friend Killers: Rearticulating Gender and Race via Species in Hemingway

Annotation
Focusing on the relationship between gender and identity, Wolfe argues that the “discourse of species” in The Garden of Eden functions as a metaphorical forum for the mediation of racial and gender issues. Wolfe considers the accuracy of Scribner’s ending, the novel’s textual history, and the similarly themed short story “Hills Like White Elephants” in his interpretation of David’s struggle between identifying with his father’s code or Catherine’s rebellion against it.
