Title: Hemingway s Art of Self-Exculpation in Life and in The Garden of Eden
Author/Creator: Paul W. Miller
Publication Details: MidAmerica, Vol.19, pp.27-35
Annotation: Relying on letters, manuscripts, A Moveable Feast, and The Garden of Eden, Miller explores Hemingway s shifting feelings of guilt over his failed first marriage to Hadley. Finds that despite Hemingway s exoneration of Hadley in A Moveable Feast, the wives in The Garden of Eden are primarily responsible for the disintegrating marriages. Argues that in the published ending of the novel, Hemingway demonstrates the artist s renewal through the casting off of guilt and resumption of craft.
