Ernest Hemingway nearly defined machismo for many American men of
the twentieth century. Yet, in recent years critics have discerned
an "androgynous" sexuality beneath the surface stoicism of
Hemingway's heroes. This study breaks new ground by examining the
profoundly submissive and masochistic posture toward women
exhibited by many of Hemingway's heroes, from Jake Barnes in "The
Sun Also Rises "to David Bourne in "The Garden of Eden," The
discussion draws on the ideas of authors as diverse as
Sacher-Masoch, Freud, Deleuze, and others, and reveals that despite
Hemingway's rugged and hypermasculine image, a "masochistic
aesthetic" informs many of the texts. This accessible treatment of
a complex subject will appeal to readers with an interest in
Hemingway, gender issues, and American literature.
