Title: The Politics of "The Snows of Kilimanjaro"
Author/Creator: Keneth Kinnamon
Publication Details: Value and Vision in American Literature: Literary Essays in Honor of Ray Lewis White, pp.15-31
Annotation: Biographical approach connecting Hemingway s ambivalent feelings regarding the corrupting and oppressing power of wealth to Harry s recognition of his complicity in the destruction of his talent. Notes briefly that Hemingway s attitudes toward the wealthy expressed in To Have and Have Not are reminiscent of those found in the earlier The Snows of Kilimanjaro. Details the author s financial dependence on Pauline s rich Uncle Gus while at the same time railing against the wealthy and siding with the political left.
