Title: Anti-Semitism in The Sun Also Rises: Traumas, Jealousies, and the Genesis of Cohn
Author/Creator: Wolfgang E. H. Rudat
Publication Details: American Imago, Vol.49(2), pp.263-275
Annotation: Theorizes that Hemingway s anti-Semitic treatment of Robert Cohn reveals both the author s fears of castration (the result of childhood and later war traumas) and the jealousy he harbored toward his literary rival, Harold Loeb. Concludes that Hemingway s neutering of Loeb was literary and that Jake s castration manifests Hemingway s fear of losing his ability to write.
