Title: Crip/Queer Corporeality in Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises
Author/Creator: Martina Kübler
Publication Details: White Male Disability in Modernist Literature: Reading Lawrence, Hemingway, and Faulkner, pp.115-191
Annotation: Draws from disability, gender, and queer studies to explore the novel's thematic preoccupation with the failure of ideal masculinity, focusing on the disabled masculinity of protagonist and first-person narrator, Jake Barnes. Kübler's close reading of key scenes show how Jake's disability serves as a crip/queer alternative that disrupts the rigid antithesis between heterosexuality and homosexuality of the postwar period. Frequent comparisons to D.H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover (1928).
