Title
Biographical Perspective: Hemingway and Roethke Both Danced "My Papa’s Waltz"
Document Type
Article
Annotation
Opens by noting similarities in their subject matter, writing style, and composing habits before moving on to an exploration of each writer’s troubled relationship with his parents, rejecting all they stood for while at the same time desperately seeking their approval. Draws briefly on “Big Two-Hearted River,” “Indian Camp,” “The Doctor and the Doctor’s Wife,” and “Fathers and Sons.”
