- Annotation
- Asserts that understanding Hemingway s early unpublished story is key to a sound interpretation of sexual and artistic themes found in the much later The Garden of Eden. Beegel argues that the story s focus on impotence, masturbation, and homosexuality offers the reader a glimpse into Hemingway s professional and artistic anxiety and serves as the dark antithesis to The Undefeated. Also provides background on the real-life matador, Manuel Jimenez, on whom the protagonist is modeled.
