Title: Hemingway s Trout Fishing in Paris: A Metaphor for the Uses of Writing
Author/Creator: Stephen L. Tanner
Publication Details: Hemingway Review, Vol.19(1), pp.79-91
Annotation: Argues that Hemingway s writing about trout fishing while in Paris in the 1920s was instrumental in the development of his craft, especially his emphasis on memory, self-restoration, and sense of place. Discusses passages on writing in A Moveable Feast, Green Hills of Africa, The Garden of Eden, and the deleted coda from Big Two-Hearted River to show that Hemingway s writing on trout fishing propelled his transition from journalism to fiction.
