- Annotation
- This essay explores the enduring Slovene fascination with Hemingway's famous war novel A Farewell to Arms, and its contemporary cultural and economic exploitation. While depicting the Great War's Isonzo/Soča front, a large part of which is in present-day Slovenia, Hemingway never mentioned the Slovenes by name, nor did he use Slovene placenames. The article contextualizes this apparent disconnect within contested Sloven memories of World War I and the Isonzo/Soča battlefields, the invisibleness of "smaller" nationalities such as the Slovenes, as well as the lucrative cachet of Hemingway's name and novel in the Slovene local economy.
