Appropriating Hemingway: Using Him as a Fictional Character

Annotation
Popular fiction study centered on the numerous refashionings of Hemingway as a fictional character in novels, stories, movies, and poems. For each work, McFarland describes the extent of the author’s appropriation of Hemingway’s life, writing style, and characters and corrects biographical and historical fallacies to set the record straight. While fictional biography clearly keeps the Hemingway legend alive, McFarland also hopes that such fictional takes will encourage readers to return to Hemingway’s writing.
