- Annotation
- Comparison study focused on how the authors differing portrayals of war were shaped by both their disparate experiences with war and ideas about sexuality. Curnutt contrasts Stein s more emotionally nuanced expression with Hemingway s dramatic and unadorned prose, concluding that their fundamental aesthetic and personal differences resulted in a rift too wide to mend. Draws on A Moveable Feast, In Our Time, A Farewell to Arms, Death in the Afternoon, and Stein s Geography and Plays (1922), Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas (1933), Wars I Have Seen (1945), and Bee Time Vine (1953).
