Title: Pastoral as Commodity: Brautigan s Reinscription of Hemingway s Trout Fishing
Author/Creator: Daichi Sugai
Publication Details: Hemingway Review, Vol.36(2), pp.112-123
Annotation: Influence study comparing Hemingway s adaptation of the pastoral tradition in Big Two-Hearted River to Brautigan s postmodernist treatment in Trout Fishing in America (1967). Sugai argues that while Hemingway complicates the pastoral vision through Nick s desire for civilized comforts such as canned provisions and coffee, Brautigan transforms Hemingway s pastoral ideal into a commodity in the thriving capitalistic culture of the 1960s.
