Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan, 1999

Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald met in 1925, two weeks after the publication of "The Great Gatsby", in the Dingo Bar in Paris. From that night on they maintained a complicated friendship born of mutual admiration, envy, and implicit rivalry. This is a collection of essays devoted to exploring the shared influence that these two legendary writers had on each other's work. The essayists examine the role of France, particularly Paris, in both writers' bodies of work, and how their sustained contact with one another in France as opposed to the States determined the tenor of their relationship. Other chapters focus on the intertextual impact that the writers had on one another, unveiling threads of influence that allow for new interpretations of their work.
