Title: The Prose of Life: Lived Experience in the Fiction of Hemingway, Sartre and Beauvoir
Author/Creator: Erik Nakjavani
Publication Details: North Dakota Quarterly, Vol.70(4), pp.140-165
Annotation: Explores the intellectual bond between the three authors, demonstrating how Hemingway s concept of lived experience (the belief that fiction should convey deep human truths) is reminiscent of Sartre s and Simone de Beauvoir s existentialism. Nakjavani explores Sartre s conceptual formulation of lived experience, the centrality of the concept to Hemingway s writing, and the roles of silence and omission as vehicles of lived experience in all three authors fiction. Very brief reference to chapter II of In Our Time.
