- Annotation
- Explores the reoccurring themes of truth, sexuality, and race in Hemingway s texts. Examines how God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen and Mr. and Mrs. Elliot address the sexual taboos of castration and lesbian sexuality. Offers a manuscript study of The Garden of Eden (with frequent references to The Sea Change ) that explores these themes through erotic transgressions of race and gender. Argues that Scribner s published version of the novel obscures the relationship between a search for artistic truth and a sexuality that transgresses the norms of the culture that Hemingway kept trying to outgrow.
