- Annotation
- Contemplates the evolution of views on Hemingway's politics and partisan activities, especially in light of recent studies and of the idea that, contrary to earlier conclusions of his apolitical stances, "Hemingway's celebrated art of omission positively encourages a hermeneutics of suspicion." Recent books and articles disagree on the nature of Hemingway's possible "spying" for either the United States (in China, Cuba, and possibly Mexico City) or Russia or both. Examines in some depth various scholarly studies and fictional accounts, based at least in part on reality, of the "Crook Factory" period during World War II and in subsequent Cuban episodes.
