Title: Ernest Hemingway Swinging the Blues and Taking Nothing
Author/Creator: Albert Murray
Publication Details: The Blue Devils of Nada: A Contemporary American Approach to Aesthetic Statement, pp.143-221
Annotation: Contends that Hemingway, in his narrative pace, precision, and desire to capture as accurately as possible human experience and feeling, qualifies as an honorary blues musician. Surveys Hemingway s aesthetic and storytelling principles, relying on the author s own commentary on the art of writing in his nonfiction and interviews. Covers a range of topics in his discussion of Hemingway s canon, including Hemingway s sublimation of the political and ambivalent treatment of nature. Explores at length his treatment of African Americans and interest in Africa and primitivism.
