This is a perceptive analysis of the literary output and career of Ernest Hemingway, one of the twentieth century's most influential literary talents. Ernest Hemingway has long been recognized as one of the 20th century's most important and influential writers. Despite receiving many accolades during his lifetime, including the Nobel and Pulitzer Prizes, his work has also garnered no small amount of criticism. Some felt his characters lacked depth, others objected to his emphasis on hyper-masculine subject matters. In this fresh re-evaluation of Hemingway's career, literary critic Donald Bouchard examines his work from a brand new perspective - drawing on the postmodernist writings of Michel Foucault, Giles Deleuze, and Edward Said - from which he is able to focus on Hemingway's career as a writer and the ways in which he addressed critical responses to his work. This in-depth study of the career of one of the 20th century's literary icons shows that Hemingway's work still commands serious critical reflection.
