: On Hemingway s frequent references to venereal disease throughout his canon, reflecting not only a lack of personal sexual responsibility but also the larger consequences of modernity itself. Tyler examines the author s association of the disease with culturally conditioned definitions of masculinity and the pain of untreated depression. Draws from One Reader Writes, The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, Death in the Afternoon, Under Kilimanjaro, and elsewhere.
