- Annotation
- Draws on Lacan s theories to argue that Scribner s published version foregrounds the novel s conscious Freudian connections. Stoltzfus examines the oedipal narrative of castration, incest, and death lying just below the surface of the overlapping Africa and Riviera stories, concluding that David and Marita s relationship at the end is a bliss filled rebirth signifying paradise regained. Previously published as A Post-Lacanian Reading of Hemingway s The Garden of Eden in American Journal of Semiotics 5, nos. 3-4 (1987): 381-95.
