- Annotation
- Argues that Hemingway s professional insecurities were agitated by his financial dependence on Pauline s uncle, Gus Pfeiffer. Looks at how Hemingway tried to reconcile his dependence by cultivating a self-reliant celebrity persona. Discusses the author s problematic Key West legacy in the form of Hemingway Days, a festival celebrating both the man and his art. Relying on Bakhtin s theories, Pottle examines how Hemingway s identity has become a tourist commodity.
