- Annotation
- Situates the duck hunting scene from chapter seventeen historically and politically, identifying a 1949 Life magazine photo-essay aimed at reinventing Francisco Franco s reputation with the West as the source of Hemingway s allusion. Guill sums up the Spanish issue debate regarding Franco s desire for United Nation s diplomatic recognition and U.S. economic aid. Provides insight into Hemingway s lingering anger over the fall of the Spanish Republic and underscores the importance of reading closely even seemingly minor textual details in Hemingway s writing.
