the time to grasp the sle of the Hemgway cult twentieth-century Ameri. As late as 1965, the edor of <em>The Atlantic</em> uld wre reverently of scen om a kd of Ernt Hemgway Advent lendar: “We-staed moods the siwalk fés and roisterg nights Left Bank <em>boît</em>. Walkg home alone the ra. Talk of ath, and scen of , the Spanish sun. Treks and trophi Tanganyika’s green hills. Duck-shootg the Veian marsh. . . . Lovg and drkg and fishg out of Key Wt and Havana.” It was real fame, too, not the thirty-mut-wh-Terry Gross kd that wrers have to ntent themselv wh now. To get close to the tone of today, you would have to image the lerary reputatn of Raymond Carver joed wh the populary and polil piety of Bce Sprgsteen. “Papa” Hemgway was not jt a much admired artist; he was seen as a reprentative Amerin public man. He reprented the thory of wrg even for people who didn’t read.</p><p class="paywall">The bunkg, when me, me hard. As the bter memoirs poured out, we got alholism, male chvism, fabulatn, malice toward those who had ma the mistake of beg kd to him—all that. Eventually there me, om his avid tate, the lucrative but not reputatn-enhancg publitn of posthumo novels. The brand ntu: his tate licens the “Ernt Hemgway Collectn,” which clus an artisanal m, Papa’s preferred eyewear, and heavy Cuban-style furnure featurg “leather-like vyl wh a warm pata.” (What would Papa have said of that!) But few would now give the old man the heavyweight champnship of lerature for which he fought so hard, not least bee thkg of lerature as an elimatn bout is no longer our style. We thk of more as a quiltg bee, wh everyone havg a chance to add a patch, and the ft patch often arisg om the least privileged quilters. In recent s, Hemgway has reprented the thory of wrg only for people who never read.</p><p class="paywall">Sudnly, though, there has been an amic revival Hemgway studi which, wh an irony no satirist uld have imaged, Hemgway, who his day exemplified Amerin macho, has, through our taste for “queerg the text,” bee Hemgway the genr benr. <em>The Hemgway Review</em> n now nta admirg articl wh subtl like “Sodomy and Transvtic Hallucatn Hemgway.” It is newly possible to duce that Papa was far weirr, a posive sense, than he liked to pretend, and that his texts nta, jt below their rigidly tumcent surface, ep glimmerg pools of sexual ambiguy and genr liquidy.</p><p class="paywall">Mary V. Dearborn’s new bgraphy, “<a data-offer-url=" class="external-lk" data-event-click="{"element":"ExternalLk","outgogURL":"" href=" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Hemgway</a>” (Knopf), is hardly full of revelatns. Wh the wns almost all ad, and the archiv bed through as if by addicts lookg for remnants of crack, how uld be? But is up to date attu. The queer-theory patch are all place, as are the femist on. Dearborn has an oddly puranil attu toward the storytellg of a storyteller, beg que prim as she pots out that Hem exaggerated here, nfabulated there, ma ls of this than was que tthful, and more of that. Hemgway, she wr, told “enormo whoppers” about, for stance, trappg pigeons the Luxembourg Garns for dner his early years Paris. In fact, he and his first wife, Hadley, had plenty of money. But he was wrg fabl about the aspiratns of expatriat, not textbooks on acuntg. Hungry people—and no one is hungrier than a young wrer tryg to make a reputatn—feel hungry even when they’re not actually starvg.</p><p class="paywall">In general, Dearborn seems not to have met many wrers along her scholarly path, and appears astound that the good on tell tall tal about their own formatn, which is like beg astound that fishermen exaggerate the size of their tch. (Of urse, Hemgway did that, too.) Most of Hemgway’s fabulatns are transparent style and purpose: he told an terviewer once that, when he walked wh Joyce Paris the neteen-twenti, Joyce would “fall to an argument or a fight. He uldn’t even see the man so he’d say, ‘Deal wh him, Hemgway! Deal wh him!’ ” This surely never happened, but you n see why he wished had, and n’t hate him for wishg . He wanted to be Joyce’s Lu Brasi.</p><p class="paywall">In Dearborn’s better moments, she shows how telligently Hemgway managed to apportn the amount of empiril accuracy for each ocsn. Although he flated his heroism the Great War—at one pot givg crence to the report that he had rried a wound Italian soldier over a distance twice the length of a football field—he was direct and unrstated his published stori. Dearborn thks that Hemgway was askg whether “there was any more thenticy, or tth.” No, he wasn’t. He was allotg thenticy and tth acrdg to the needs of his art. The origal of Cathere “A Farewell to Arms” was an Amerin nurse named Agn von Kurowsky, whom he loved passnately, only to have her reject him wh a chilly Dear John letter, which she told him that she was “still very fond” of him but “more as a mother than a sweetheart.” He fixed the facts the novel by havg her die for love bearg his child.

One rarely objects to her verdicts about what exactly happened and why. The story here gets retold more or ls on the terms we know, wh judic gus ma as to the tth of much-argued-over episos: y, his mother drsed him as a girl until he was old enough to notice; no, Stt Fzgerald probably never asked him to check the size of Fzgerald’s member a Paris men’s room; y, those famo wilrns outgs Michigan took place the ntext of a big middle-class hoe and middle-class vatns, and were not nearly as primive as the stori make them sound; and no, his first wife did not lose all of his early work on a tra for good—a lot was soon revered.

The tth that he was not entirely paranoid at the end of his life to thk that the F.B.I. had been keepg an eye on him is noted, too, and so is the fact that the Bure seemed to have ltle malice toward him. Ined, J. Edgar Hoover himself—another tough guy wh a hidn si—was an admirer.

Early ght years Oak Park, a suburb of Chigo, wh a distant, manic-prsive father, who eventually mted suici, and a ld mother, who once orred the young Ernt out of the hoe and, years later, when his first novel was a h, found a wholly negative lol review to send him. Relief the form of summers spent fishg at the fay’s lake ttage. No llege years—he missed that part, and paid for by overpensatg tellectually—but war experienc. Hemgway went to the Italian ont 1918, at eighteen, as an ambulance driver, the pany of the once famo, now largely fotten novelist John Dos Passos. As Jam McGrath Morris pots out his new book “<a data-offer-url=" class="external-lk" data-event-click="{"element":"ExternalLk","outgogURL":"" href=" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">The Ambulance Drivers</a>,” Dos Passos had a keen sense of the real waste and horror of war, whereas Hemgway still saw as an ocsn for a heroic show of stoil endurance. The urage of his gog at all is unniable; after a few weeks, he got blown up by a mortar and revered the hospal, fallg love wh that betiful nurse. He then went to work as a journalist for the Toronto <em>Star</em>; there’s a nice le “The Sun Also Ris” about the easy social grac of Canadians.

How did Hemgway do ? Simplicy, monosyllabl, elimatn of adverbs and adjectiv . . . that’s supposed to be the formula. For mordant mischief, one n now download the Hemgway Edor app, which ntas an algorhm meant to reproduce his style, and see how well this works. (The app picks out, adversely, the sgle adverb “swiftly” the openg paragraph of “A Farewell to Arms.”) But all the algorhm n do is simplify, and produce the kd of baby-talk prose that Hemgway himself wrote only when he was losg . The heart of his style was not abbreviatn but amputatn; not simplicy but mystery.</p><p class="paywall">Aga and aga, he creat his effects by strikg out what would seem to be sential material. In “Big Two-Hearted River,” Nick’s plited European experience—or the way that fishg is sany-prervg for Nick, the damaged veteran—is nveyed clearly the first versn, and left apparent only as implitn the published send versn. In a draft of the heartbreakg early story “Hills Like Whe Elephants,” about a man talkg his girliend to havg an abortn, Hemgway twice the words “three of .” This is the woman’s sential sire, to bee three rather than two. But Hemgway strik both stanc om the fished story, so the key image remas as ghostly subtext wh the sentenc. We feel the missg “three,” but we don’t read .</p><p class="paywall">That’s typil of his practice. The art om scissorg out his natural garlons, and the mystery is ma by what was elid. Readg through draft and then fished story, one is repeatedly stunned by the meticulo rightns of his elisns. There are fluenc at work, obvly, om Stephen Crane to Sherwood Anrson, not to mentn Gert Ste’s fx-naïf smarts. Yet Hemgway himself gave most of the cred to Cézanne. In that ncelled passage om “Big Two-Hearted River,” we read, “He wanted to wre like Cezanne pated. Cezanne started wh all the tricks. Then he broke the whole thg down and built <l>clearly and slowly</l> the real thg. It was hell to do. He was the greatt. It wasn’t a cult.” (The crossg-out is the origal.) This is the kd of classy thg that wrers are bound to say and bgraphers are bound to doubt—Dearborn lls Hemgway’s nstant reference to Cézanne “mystifyg”—but mak all the sense the world. The whole aim of Cézanne’s patg om the eighteen-seventi on is to build up landspe and still-life om the pictorial equivalent of monosyllabl—om small, square nstctive marks, like the cross-shadgs of a pencil, which make space by beg overlaid. Outle and firm shape are subordated, as Hemgway, to the passage of one shape to the next. Both men are masters of “and” more than “this.”</p></div></div></div><div class="GridItem-buujkM fVLMby grid--em grid-layout__asi"><div class="StickyBoxWrapper-jfYB jxBcTH sticky-box"><div class="StickyBoxPrimary-dzWDWL cdhYoN sticky-box__primary"></div><div class="StickyBoxPlaceholr-grPmrg dxAvXx"></div></div></div></div><div data-ttid="RowWrapper" class="RowWrapper-UmqTg HEhan full-bleed-ad row-mid-ntent-ad"><div class="StickyMidContentAdWrapper-fSBzwl drzyIa ad-stickymidntent"><div class="AdWrapper-dQtivb fZrssQ ad ad--mid-ntent should-hold-space"><div class="ad__slot ad__slot--mid-ntent" data-no-id="vpi6lp"></div></div></div></div><div class="GridWrapper-cAzTTK kHBDeH grid grid-margs grid-ems-2 ArticlePageChunksGrid-hfxa bjczjj grid-layout--adrail narrow wi-adrail"><div class="GridItem-buujkM stRKV grid--em grid-layout__ntent"><div class="BodyWrapper-kufPGa bDyAMU body body__ntaer article__body" data-journey-hook="client-ntent" data-ttid="BodyWrapper"><div class="body__ner-ntaer"><p class="paywall">Cézanne also showed that a few strong hts of specificy—this one pe tree the right ont plane, this plastic foreground orange—are all that is need for the evotn of shap and spac.

Whether at Michigan trout streams or Pamplona fitas or those Paris boît, there is a strong element of “travel wrg.” He wrote pleasure far better than vlence. Fzgerald’s evotn of the fashnable world is que abstract and mostly unspecific. Hemgway is full of advice about what to eat and drk. “Death the Afternoon” even clus a brief but cisive “Lonely Pla”-style disurse on European beer—the bt is Czech, German, and Spanish—as “The Sun Also Ris” do on Spanish we. There’s a reason that the bar at the Paris Rz was the first place he “liberated” Paris, and that El Florida rtrant, Havana, still claims him as the father of s grapeu-enhanced Daiquiri. No good wrer ever had such clear views on hotels and fés and rtrants.</p><p class="paywall">Hemgway’s people are damaged but not shell-shocked. “A Farewell to Arms” is a romance—a Hollywood-movie romance, featurg a uple wh glamoro nam. The romance of honor and glory may have died on the Wtern Front, but the romance of romance, and of sex and the material life particular, was relighted; the face of annihilatn, postpong pleasure jt looked silly. For all his reputatn for “mascule” valu, an stctive Hemgway theme is far more culturally “feme,” a graceful bendg unr prsure. “I’m not brave any more, darlg,” Cathere tells Freric “A Farewell to Arms.” “I’m all broken. They’ve broken me.” The self-regnn of breakage is the form of bravery available to real people. The edict of Hemgway’s art is to take what life throws at you whout plat, but is also to never postpone pleasure if you n help . The travel-lerature, brand-name si of Hemgway—the si that ma Pamplona a tourist trap and Venice’s Grti Palace an “in,” the si kept alive grad form by all that artisanal m and pat furnure—is sential to his effects. Hemgway was a master not of a realized stoicism but of a wound epicureanism. Have fun while you n, and then endure the bad stuff when . It don’t sound high-md when you say , but was saner than almost anythg else on offer.</p><p class="has-dropp has-dropp__lead-standard-headg paywall">Hemgway’s early style is also a poetic style; ’s signifint that, like the Romantic poets, he bloomed as a wrer his mid-twenti. The novel was vented by the middle-aged, and Gee Elt and Anthony Trollope were their fifti when they wrote their masterpiec. But lyric poetry is for the young, and the trouble wh a poetic style is that, wh age, n bee a pose. Hemgway’s beme a style so mannered that uld be parodied endlsly, to the pot that Hemgway parodi are nearly as rich a lerary form as Hemgway stori. The two bt—Woltt Gibbs’s “Death the Rumble Seat” and E. B. Whe’s “Across the Street and Into the Grill”—both appeared this magaze, and ’s signifint that the two parodists shared Hemgway’s project of simplifyg the hell out of Amerin prose; attuned them to the distortns and tics the Master’s way of dog so.</p><figure class="AssetEmbedWrapper-eVDQiB byBkf asset-embed"><div class="AssetEmbedAssetContaer-eJxoAx dBHGoQ asset-embed__asset-ntaer"><span

reputatn was ma on the bt-seller lists Ameri. “A Farewell to Arms” (1929) had a first prt n of more than thirty thoand pi, huge s day. “For Whom the Bell Tolls” (1940), helped by s timely fightg-the-Fascists subject, stayed on the bt-seller lists for two years. He had wrten much of while rentg F Vigía, a betiful hoe Cuba, and, wh the money om his books, he bought the place. It beme his stle and retreat almost for the rt of his life, until the Cuban Revolutn forced him out. It was here that he beme Papa Hemgway, the great bear of lerature, receivg journalists and raisg children and ventg the grapeu Daiquiri and fightg marl and takg quick and often dangero trips to lser provc of his empire, to Ai (where, on a sgle trip, he twice crashed a plane) and Spa (where he ntued to return, Fran notwhstandg, to watch the bullfights).</p><p class="paywall">The weird sexual stuff began, or began to be rerd, the neteen-forti. The actual sequence is a ltle hard to follow, sce the lerary evince appears “The Garn of En,” an unfished, posthumoly published novel that he worked on the forti and fifti but that tak place the mid-twenti, which is when he started seeg the Amerin journalist Ple Pfeiffer, who eventually beme his send wife. Basilly, Hemgway began to sist that the women his life get their hair cut short, like his, while he dyed his to match theirs, wh many plited twists both lor and stylg. The s and outs of this “sex play,” as Dearborn lls , read like a mix of D. H. Lawrence and a Clairol ad. She reunts:</p><blockquote class="BlockquoteEmbedWrapper-sc-SdiGL jPeLne paywall blockquote-embed"><div class="BlockquoteEmbedContent-RbGs gmbtPx blockquote-embed__ntent"><p>First, Ernt bleached or dyed his. Josephe Merck, a iend om Montana, vised Ernt and Ple 1933 and remembered Ernt’s hair “bleached by the sun”; was highly unlikely that the sun “bleached” his dark hair. She also saw jt after, when his hair was red, and when she asked him about , he got annoyed. A letter om Ple to her hband cleared up what lor his hair was that sprg: “About your hair,” she wrote him, “don’t know how to turn red to gold. What about straight peroxi—or better what’s the matter wh red hair. Red hair lovely on you.” Evintly Ernt felt some regret, if not for dyeg his hair the first place, then for choosg the wrong lor.</p></div></blockquote><p class="paywall">We know this bee Ple wrote to a iend that Hemgway was “a ltle subdued, though not much, by his haircut,” and explaed, “His hair turned bright gold on the boat to Havana . . . and he cut to the roots a enzy.” Later, Hemgway dyed his hair red and went around sistg that had happened “accintally.”</p></div></div></div><div class="GridItem-buujkM fVLMby grid--em grid-layout__asi"><div class="StickyBoxWrapper-jfYB jxBcTH sticky-box"><div class="StickyBoxPrimary-dzWDWL cdhYoN sticky-box__primary"><div class="AdWrapper-dQtivb fZrssQ ad ad--rail"><div class="ad__slot ad__slot--rail" data-no-id="sxo8bk"></div></div><div class="ConsumerMarketgUnThemedWrapper-iUTMTf jssHut nsumer-marketg-un nsumer-marketg-un--display-rail" role="prentatn" aria-hidn="te"><div class="nsumer-marketg-un__slot nsumer-marketg-un__slot--display-rail"></div><div class="journey-un"></div></div></div><div class="StickyBoxPlaceholr-grPmrg dxAvXx"></div></div></div></div><div data-ttid="RowWrapper" class="RowWrapper-UmqTg HEhan full-bleed-ad row-mid-ntent-ad"><div class="StickyMidContentAdWrapper-fSBzwl drzyIa ad-stickymidntent"><div class="AdWrapper-dQtivb fZrssQ ad ad--mid-ntent should-hold-space"><div class="ad__slot ad__slot--mid-ntent" data-no-id="nb38p"></div></div></div></div><div class="GridWrapper-cAzTTK kHBDeH grid grid-margs grid-ems-2 ArticlePageChunksGrid-hfxa bjczjj grid-layout--adrail narrow wi-adrail"><div class="GridItem-buujkM stRKV grid--em grid-layout__ntent"><div class="BodyWrapper-kufPGa bDyAMU body body__ntaer article__body" data-journey-hook="client-ntent" data-ttid="BodyWrapper"><div class="body__ner-ntaer"><p class="paywall">Realized as fictn, all the cuttg and dyeg be even odr, not bee of s darg genr fluidy but bee of the sticky prose that was necsary to dramatize . “The Garn of En” has sequenc wh the og, self-rsg sound of someone whisperg his sexual fantasi your ear, and, like all sex fantasi, they have a standardized, stereotyped settg— this se, French hair salons. Dearborn tells that Hemgway loved to wre down the shas of blondns: pale gold, ep gold, ash blond. (The power of words for a wrer’s fetish is absolute; Aun says that he was more stimulated by the words for his sexual obssns than by their objects.) “Over time, jt wrg about the shas of hair lor would bee almost unbearably excg to him; he would talogue them wh obv erotic pleasure,” Dearborn reunts. Simply thkg about hair lor “ma Mr. Scrooby stand at attentn.”</p><p class="paywall">Where Mr. Scrooby really got turned around, though, was bed. In “The Garn of En,” the Hemgway stand-, David Bourne, is anally perated night after night by a dildo, wh the now short-haired Hadley character on top—a practice that, real life, seems to date to Hemgway’s fourth marriage, to the journalist Mary Welsh, 1946. When “The Garn of En” appeared, 1986, reviewers ma much of the hair-cuttg androgyny while leavg the analy more or ls alone, but ’s clear the text that the “vil thgs,” as Cathere lls them, center on the peratn, for which all the hair treatment is merely a preparatn.</p><p class="paywall">It’s this kd of thg that mak Hemgway’s “libidal polics” look progrsive today, revealg genr rol as the culturally manufactured toys they are. Yet the sex, one soon se, is actually imaged on much the same macho terms as before, jt wh the signifiers shaken up. “The Garn of En” evok not cheerful pluralism transgrsg genr boundari but the old Hemgway them of the bondg of hunter and hunted, prey and predator. Sex rol are swched, not broaned. The twists and turns are, this view, entirely sful—what driv om paradise, not what remds of .</p><div data-attr-viewport-monor="le-recirc" class="le-recirc-wrapper le-recirc-observer-target-3 viewport-monor-anchor"></div><p class="paywall">Like every sexual fetish, his got s tang om transgrsn. Sex mt be experienced as s to be satisfyg. For Hemgway, there was no greater s than actg a “womanish” way, and was therefore the subject that Mr. Scrooby awoke to. The prospect of beg unmanned was as thrillgly illic for his self-stimulatn as the enactment of manly rual was sential to his self-image. We need not believe that the public face is fake to unrstand that the private sire n be s oppose. The rult, as evinced “The Garn of En,” was certaly more darg and origal and hont than the “Old Man and the Sea” stuff he published the fifti stead. But was not postmorn genr pluralism, eher. It was more bary than that, and more btal.</p><p class="paywall">What giv Hemgway’s flirtatn wh genr reversal a special pathos is his relatnship wh his much loved son Gregory, an termtent cross-drser who had a sex-change operatn at the age of sixty-three and died g the name Gloria. At one pot, Hemgway me upon the boy, whom he lled Giggy, tryg on his mother’s stockgs and drs a fay bedroom Cuba, and later said to him, “We e om a strange tribe, you and I.” He doubtls saw this boy, his favore, ambigui that he uld never nfs, and ma him by turns both enraged and, oddly, touchgly, empathetic. Their letters, reprted a memoir by Greg’s son John lled, appropriately, “Strange Tribe,” are eply movg, their moments of celty and, on Greg’s part, at least, their flash of sight. (Greg was the only person ready to tell Hemgway how bad “The Old Man and the Sea” really was: “As sickly a bucket of sentimental slop as was ever scbbed off a barroom floor.”) As always happens wh famo fathers and strangled sons, the letters turn toward money, wh Hemgway gracelsly layg out his budget for the boy. (Let be said, though, that Hemgway’s money troubl mt have been exhstg to live through: he was never nearly as rich as his reputatn would make you thk.)</p><p class="paywall">“He has the biggt dark si the fay except me and you,” Hemgway wrote to Ple, “and I’m not the fay.” Hemgway’s own suici, by shotgun, 1961, at his huntg retreat Ketchum, Idaho, brought a palette of tragedy to the story, even though the much discsed curse of the Hemgways seems no more than a gene for bipolary that bounced around fiendishly om generatn to generatn. The trail of suici is heartbreakg to nsir—the father, Clarence; Ernt, his brother Leicter, and his sister Ursula; his helpls, betiful granddghter Margx.</p><p class="has-dropp has-dropp__lead-standard-headg paywall">The new attempts to make Papa matter by makg him a lot ls Papa and a ltle more Mama are, fally, not all that persuasive. Hemgway remas Hemgway—the macho attus ntue to perate the prose even when the genr rol get swched around. And those macho attus clu many admirable thgs: a genue love of urage, a surprisg reads to celebrate failure if is bought wh bravery, an unsparg sense of the fataly of human existence, a love of the small pleasur that ennoble .</p><p class="paywall">At Hemgway’s bt, the affectatns are undone by an affectn for the sensuo surface of life, which is of necsy erotilly multivalent, neher neatly mascule nor neatly feme. Although we may “genr” , our scriptns, if they have nsy at all, pe the btal bari, the narrow tegori, of appete. To read the openg l about the lovers’ breakfast “The Garn of En” is to be touch wh an impulse far more movg and pansexual than all the sexual reversals that revisnist crics have to offer:</p><blockquote class="BlockquoteEmbedWrapper-sc-SdiGL jPeLne paywall blockquote-embed"><div class="BlockquoteEmbedContent-RbGs gmbtPx blockquote-embed__ntent"><p>On this morng there was brche and red raspberry prerve and the eggs were boiled and there was a pat of butter that melted as they stirred them and salted them lightly and ground pepper over them the cups. . . .
