Title: "He Was Sort of a Joke, In Fact": Ernest Hemingway in Spain
Author/Creator: Jeffrey Herlihy-Mera
Publication Details: Hemingway Review, Vol.31(2), pp.84-100
Annotation: Criticizes previous literary scholarship characterizing Hemingway s time in Spain in an overly celebratory and positive manner. Herlihy-Mera argues that the author s experience with Spanish language, culture, and particularly the bullfight, was quite narrow. Cites evidence from Hemingway s Spanish acquaintances, the negative critical reception of The Sun Also Rises and For Whom the Bell Tolls, and Hemingway s own reflections on his relationship with the country in Death in the Afternoon, and elsewhere.
