Author/Creator: Jeffrey Lawrence
Publication Details: Twentieth-Century Literature: A Scholarly and Critical Journal, Vol.64(1), pp.25-52
Annotation: In situating Porter s Mexico-based stories within the development of US literature of experience, Lawrence examines her connection to other expatriate authors. Attributes Porter s denigrating characterization of Hemingway as an adventurer to her desire to solidify her position as a true experiential writer.
