Annotation
Explores the misunderstood definition of the word used to describe Hemingway’s approach to autobiography and memoir, which del Gizzo identifies as originating in a 1964 mistranslation by Mary Hemingway. Del Gizzo points out that remate refers to a “kill shot,” specifically in jai alai or bullfighting, noting its significance and possible reasons for the misinterpretation.
