- Annotation
- Investigates the symbolism and self-asserted notions of manhood in Hemingway's association with the "pared-down authenticity of the war-worn trench coat." Connects the coat to familiar images of foreign correspondents, to the dangers and adventures embedded in certain kinds of war reporting (see Langston Hughes in the Spanish Civil War), to numerous moments in Hemingway's life and work, and to notions of the garb as a "gendered object" in the shadows of his "masculine malaise": "For Hemingway the trench coat might have been a weak membrane against psychic threats, a thin disguise in a hostile world, but it was also defiant."
