Protecting the Hemingway myth: casting out forbidden desires from 'The Garden of Eden.'(Ernest Hemingway)
Article Abstract:
Tom Jenks, the editor of Ernest Hemingway's 'The Garden of Eden,' made cuts in the original manuscript in order to protect the public image of Hemingway. A detailed reading of the original manuscript reveals that the character David was built upon Hemingway himself. Hemingway's sexual desires were much more various and fluctuating than traditional heterosexuality or homosexuality. Jenks edited portions of explicit sexual role reversal, and restored the traditional mask on Hemingway. Hemingway took a big risk in writing 'The Garden of Eden,' but it was not published in his lifetime.

Words and music in the absence of the social: Hemingway, Salinger, Fitzgerald
Article Abstract:
Ernest Hemingway, J.D. Salinger and F.Scott Fitzgerald are three authors who have produced works of fiction that deliberately exclude the social world in which their fictive characters move in. This is true in the case of Hemingway's 'A Farewell to Arms,' J.D. Salinger's 'Franny and Zooey' and Fitzgerald's 'This Side of Paradise.' In each work, the focus of the book has been on the recreation of what could be termed the 'feeling-states' of their characters, as opposed to the purposeful elaboration of the complexities of the social milieu the characters inhabit.
