- Annotation
- Contends that Hemingway s political and cultural biases distort his fictional representations of Turkey in On the Quai at Smyrna, chapter II of In Our Time, and Harry s recollections in The Snows of Kilimanjaro. Concludes that Hemingway s three portraits of a savage and unpredictable Turkish character, based largely on his own observations during a brief visit to Istanbul and information obtained from Allied sources, are morally controversial, historically inadequate, culturally antagonistic, and politically prejudiced. Umun aims to set the record straight with an overview of Turkey s political and military history at the time of Hemingway s writings.
