- Annotation
- Postructuralist exploration of how socially constructed concepts of sexuality and power shape readers images of Hemingway s sexual identity and influence interpretations of his texts. Moddelmog discusses castration, cross-dressing, and homosexuality in The Sun Also Rises and the excision of lesbian and homosexual passages in The Garden of Eden manuscripts aimed at preserving Hemingway s public image and protecting Scribner s interests. Also examines the imperialistic attitudes toward Africa and its inhabitants by white characters in The Snows of Kilimanjaro and The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber. Contends that even Look s pictorial-article (1954) reveals the superiority of white expertise.
