Title: Ernest Hemingway, the False Macho
Author/Creator: John Hemingway
Publication Details: Men and Masculinities, Vol.15(4), pp.424-431
Annotation: Points to similarities between his father (Gregory) and his grandfather (Ernest) to show that despite Hemingway s hypermasculinity and Gregory s transsexuality, the two men were not so fundamentally different. Discusses both men s bouts with bipolar disorder and lifelong attraction to androgyny. Draws on angry correspondence between father and son to characterize their later relationship as turbulent and often combative.
