Title: Turning Hemingway Critics into Swine: Some Fifty Years of Bitch- and Butch-Hunting in The Sun Also Rises
Author/Creator: Fredrik Chr. Brøgger
Publication Details: North Dakota Quarterly, Vol.65(3), pp.5-19
Annotation: Argues that attempts to impose gender norms on Brett and Jake result in misreading the text. Discusses the polarized critical response to Brett s aggressiveness and Jake s passiveness over the years, suggesting that shifting interpretations based on contemporary cultural constructs distort the novel s gender ambiguity.
