Description
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 volume is a collection of essays exploring the shared influence that these two 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 sometimes hilarious, sometimes resentful tenor of their relationship. Other chapters focus on the intertextual impact that the writers had on one another, unveiling finespun threads of influence that allow for differing interpretations of their work.
