XX [From the inner flaps of the dust jacket] In this concise, up-to-date biographical-critical book, noted Hemingway scholar Peter L. Hays pulls no punches in his assessment of the man and his work. Although Hemingway the man (and myth) and Hemingway the writer are separate entities, the story of the man has come to dominate our attention in recent years, mostly through the publication of several psycho-biographies and incomplete or sometimes heavily edited posthumous works. But it is Hemingway the writer who is the subject of this volume. "Few students of creative writing avoid going through a Hemingway phase," Hays writes, "a period describing hard-luck men and women in stripped-down, highly suggestive prose. Writers as diverse as Norman Mailer, Tom Stoppard, and Raymond Carver have acknowledged Hemingway's influence upon them. He changed the way writers of English in the twentieth century used language." Following a generous chronology and biographical chapter, Professor Hays turns to a consideration, in successive chapters, of the entire Hemingway canon, from Three Stories and Ten Poems to The Dangerous Summer and The Garden of Eden. Discussed in detail are some of the most cherished and influential works of twentieth-century fiction: The Sun Also Rises, "The Killers," A Farewell to Arms, "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber," and The O/d Man and the Sea among many others. Throughout, there are fresh insights for an understanding of the writer in the 1990s. Ernest Hemingway looms larger than life on the American literary landscape. As a stylist, his position today is perhaps more secure than ever. This book helps to show why. PETER L. HAYS is the author of The Limping Hero in addition to many articles and reviews. He is Professor of English and American Literature at the University of California, Davis.…
