Title: Twin Fantasies, Bisexuality and Creativity in the Works of Ernest Hemingway
Author/Creator: Michael Lack Fleisher
Publication Details: International Review of Psycho-Analysis, Vol.17(3), pp.287-298
Annotation: Explores bisexuality, twinning, and oedipal fantasies in A Farewell to Arms and The Garden of Eden. Claims that Hemingway s creative process drew upon his bisexuality by using an interplay of his male and female identifications. Fleisher ascribes these themes to Hemingway s upbringing with a phallic mother and suggests that Hemingway s well-known masculine image reflects his fantasy that he had no feminine identifications.
