Title: Hemingway s Feasts
Author/Creator: Jeffery Meyers
Publication Details: Papers on Language & Literature, Vol.43(4), pp.426-442
Annotation: Offers a smorgasbord of food descriptions taken from articles, short stories, and novels spanning Hemingway s canon. Meyers samples briefly from each, concluding that the protagonists hunger for sports, war, and women matches their appetite for food. Meyers writes: Though tragedy destroys many of his heroes, rich feasts, devoured with gusto, are a constant source of sensual pleasure. Includes references to The Torrents of Spring, The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, Across the River and into the Trees, A Moveable Feast, and many others.
