Synopsis

In the first book of its kind, Joseph Fruscione examines the contentious relationship of two titans of American modernism-William Faulkner and Ernest Hemingway. At times, each voiced a shared literary and professional respect; at other times, each thought himself the superior craftsman and spoke of the other disparagingly. Their rivalry was rich, nuanced, and vexed, embodying various attitudes-one-upmanship, respect, criticism, and praise. Their intertextual contest-what we might call their modernist dialectic-was manifested textually through their fiction, nonfiction, letters, Nobel Prize addresses, and spoken remarks.
