- Annotation
- On Faulkner s and Hemingway s forays into the 1930s mass consumer market of hardboiled fiction. Swirski lays out their parallel careers before examining To Have and Have Not, Hemingway s failed hybrid of crime thriller/proletarian novel. Discusses the narrative s adherence to conventions of the genre, weak structure, and confused purpose, which buries its theme of protest within layers of action adventure.
