Encyclopedic and lively, this book illuminates the basic facts
associated with the more than 2,500 fictional and historical
people, animals, events and cultural artifacts which appear in
Hemingway's nine novels. Hemingway advertised himself as an
authority on sport and war, but his interests were much broader. He
studied the literary, political, and popular cultures of the many
countries he lived in (Cuba, France, United States) and visited
regularly (Spain, Germany, Austria, Italy, eastern Africa). His
novels reveal his erudition: They are studded with often arcane
references to art, history, literature, music, religion, medicine,
weapons, travel, and contemporary events. Mandel's encyclopedic
Reading Hemingway: The Facts in the Fictions identifies this
network of allusions and retrieves these unwritten contexts.
Includes illustrations, endnotes, a comprehensive bibliography, and
index. A useful complement to the many biographical and critical
efforts to unravel Hemingway's novels, this volume will encourage
informed classroom discussion and enhance scholarly debate.
Paperback edition available 2001. Cloth edition previously
published in 1995.
