Title: "Shootism" Versus "Sport" in Hemingway s "Macomber"
Author/Creator: Gary Harrington
Publication Details: Teaching Hemingway and the Natural World, pp.129-140
Annotation: Uses Hemingway s three Letters on hunting appearing in Esquire (1934) as a lens for viewing Macomber s unsportsmanlike behavior learned from his guide, Robert Wilson, who undoubtedly is familiar with the safari hunter s code. Recommends such contextualizing for encouraging lively class discussion on issues ranging from Macomber s cowardice to Wilson s integrity and expertise.
