- Annotation
- Focusing on gender and identity, Onderdonk views the loss of masculine autonomy as central to The Sun Also Rises and suggests the necessity of the condition for serious literary performance. Opens by discussing gender-based cultural pressures of authorship during the modernist period, concluding that for Hemingway, feminization can enable only the special artist, the Hemingwayesque artist, who alone is able to wrest truth and literary meaning from his humiliation. Argues that Jake s endurance and mastery of his feminization differentiates him from others as one of the novel s few real men.
