The first book-length study of the novel that transformed Hemingway
scholarship When The Garden of Eden appeared in 1986, roughly
twenty-five years after Ernest Hemingway's death, it was a
watershed event that changed readers' and scholars' perceptions of
the famous American author. Following five months in the life of
protagonist David Bourne, a rising young writer of fiction, and his
highly intelligent but artistically frustrated wife, Catherine, the
novel is unique among Hemingway's works. Its exploration of gender
roles and identities, unconventional sexual practices, race, and
artistic expression challenged the traditional notions scholars and
readers had of the iconic writer, and it sparked a debate that has
revolutionized Hemingway studies. It was also the first of
Hemingway's posthumously published novels to garner a storm of
criticism regarding the editing of its text. Many comparative
studies have been done between the original manuscript, which
contains over 2,000 pages, and its heavily edited published
version, which has little over 200 pages. Despite the whirlwind
surrounding The Garden of Eden, no book-length study of the novel
has ever been published - until now. In Hemingway's The Garden of
Eden, editors Suzanne del Gizzo and Frederic J. Svoboda have
collected the best essays and reviews - pieces that examine the
novel's themes, its composition and structure, and the complex
issue of editing a manuscript for posthumous publication - and
placed them in a single, cohesive volume. Among the included works
are E. L. Doctorow's famous New York Times review "Braver Than We
Thought," a new essay by Tom Jenks examining his editing process in
"Editing Hemingway: The Garden of Eden," and Mark Spilka's
"Hemingway's Barbershop Quintet: The Garden of Eden Manuscript," a
precursor to his groundbreaking study of Hemingway's concerns with
sex and gender roles, Hemingway's Quarrel with Androgyny.
Hemingway's The Garden of Eden is a must-read text for scholars,
students, and readers of Hemingway.
