Title
A Clean, Well-Lighted Place for Killing: Nostalgia in Hemingway’s Death in the Afternoon
Document Type
Book Chapter
Annotation
Reads Death in the Afternoon as both a guide to the bullfight from the perspective of the aficionado and as a nostalgic look at a dying art. Whittman writes: “The nostalgia of Death in the Afternoon is, in part, nostalgia for a time when Hemingway did not realize that his very presence at the fiestas destabilized the integrity of the very atmosphere he admired.”
