Title: "A Divine Gesture": Hemingway s Complex Parody of the Modern
Author/Creator: Dennis Ryan
Publication Details: Hemingway Review, Vol.16(1), pp.1-17
Annotation: Seeks to clarify the form and meaning of the 1921 experimental fable, identifying Hemingway s primary influences as the Dadaists and cubists. Though employing modernist techniques, ultimately A Divine Gesture features young Hemingway wrestling with modernism, both artistically and socially, and creating an outlet to express his growing weariness with Sherwood Anderson.
