New scholarly essays providing a multifaceted approach to the role
of Africa in Hemingway's life and work. Hemingway's two extended
African safaris, the first in the 1930s and the second in the
1950s, gave rise to two of his best-known stories ("The Snows of
Kilimanjaro" and "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber"), a
considerable amount of journalism and correspondence, and two
nonfiction books, Green Hills of Africa (1935), about the first
safari, and True at First Light (1999; longer version, Under
Kilimanjaro 2005), about the second.Africa also figures largely in
his important posthumous novel The Garden of Eden (1986). The
variety and quantity of this literary output indicate clearly that
Africa was a major factor in the creative life of this influential
American author. But surprisingly little scholarship has been
devoted to the role of Africa in Hemingway's life and work. To
start the long-delayed conversation on this topic, this book offers
historical, theoretical, biographical, theological, and literary
interpretations of Hemingway's African narratives. It also presents
a wide-ranging introduction, a detailed chronology of the safaris,
a complete bibliography of Hemingway's published and unpublished
African works, an up-to-date, annotated review of the scholarship
on the African works, and a bibliography of Hemingway's reading on
natural history and other topics relevant to Africa and the world
of the safari. Contributors: Silvio Calabi, Suzanne del Gizzo,
Beatriz Penas Ibanez, Jeremiah M. Kitunda, Kelli A. Larson, Miriam
B. Mandel, Frank Mehring, Philip H. Melling, Erik G. R. Nakjavani,
James Plath, and Chikako Tanimoto. Miriam B. Mandel is retired as
Senior Lecturer in the Department of English and American Studies
at Tel Aviv University.
