Title: Lost Love in the Jazz Age: A Comparative Analysis of Hemingway's Three International Divorces
Author/Creator: Patrice Boyes
Publication Details: Hemingway Review, Vol.44(1), pp.113-125
Annotation: Ernest Miller Hemingway was divorced from three wives in three countries over an eighteen-year period from 1927 to 1945. Despite liberalizing divorce laws, Hemingway constructed increasingly brazen fables to segue from one wife to another, culminating in misrepresenting his third wife's residency status to the Cuban divorce court. His glibness in the post-war period is confirmed in the alienation of old friends who rejected his grim, chest-beating war stories and sealed one Hemingway letter for fifty years to protect his reputation.
