Document Type
Book Chapter
Annotation
Explores gender roles and the autobiographical nature of David’s writing within The Garden of Eden, especially in the African stories. Comments on Hemingway’s struggle to satisfactorily conclude the novel. Hewson’s study of the manuscript endings presents Hemingway “as a writer no longer certain that past stability can create present stability and suggest he has moved forward significantly from his earlier beliefs about masculine and feminine identity.”
