- Apoorva Bharadwaj
- Annotation
- Psycho-biographical study of Hemingway s major protagonists as extensions of himself to reveal the extent of his obsessive narcissistic self-projection across his canon. Bharadwaj charts Hemingway s self-fictionalization in three phases: childhood, youth, and twilight years; drawing numerous comparisons between the author and his heroes. Concludes that Hemingway s suicide resulted from his inability to maintain the popular myth of the Hemingway hero. Includes analyses of The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Across the River and into the Trees, Islands in the Stream, and The Old Man and the Sea.
