"Ernest Hemingway's novels and short stories have been the subject of several collections of scholarly essays, but his nonfiction has been denied the same attention. In taking Death in the Afternoon as its subject, this Companion recognizes that in the case of Hemingway (and of many other important twentieth-century authors like Henry James and F. Scott Fitzgerald) the distinction between fiction and nonfiction is artificial and restricting. The volume breaks new ground by applying theoretical and critical approaches to a work of nonfiction." "The original essays collected here offer a thorough, well-balanced examination of a complex, boundary-breaking, and hitherto neglected text."--BOOK JACKET.
