Current Bibliography Steve Paul and Kelli A. Larson The current bibliography aspires to include all serious contributions to Hemingway scholarship. Given the substantial quantity of significant critical work appearing on Hemingway's life and writings annually, inconsequential items from the popular press have been omitted to facilitate the distinction of important developments and trends in the field. Annotations for articles appearing in The Hemingway Review have been omitted due to the immediate availability of abstracts introducing each issue.

[End Page 112 Brief articles address items that are either doubtful or actual occurrences in the author's legendary life. Articles appear in a seemingly random sequence as various themes and incidents recur and overlap: The six-word story, suicide, friendships and love affairs, questionable quotes ("Write drunk, edit sober"), battling literati. Each item concludes with a judgment: true, false, possible, or other conditional indication. Draws from interviews, new research, and an extensive list of scholarly and popular sources. Includes an extended account of EH's high school girlfriends and a previously unpublished memory of his youth by one of them, Frances Coates Grace.] Google Scholar Chakravertty, Tania. Ernest Hemingway and the Fluidity of Gender: A Socio-Cultural Analysis of Selected Works. New York: Routledge, 2023. Explores EH's lifelong fascination with gender identity and sexual ambiguity beginning in his childhood and culminating in his writing of GOE. Chakravertty situates the author's most popular fiction historically, socio-culturally, and biographically, opening with a survey of the changing gender landscape for middle-class white women from the mid-nineteenth to mid-twentieth century. Discusses the influence of EH's upbringing by fluidly gendered parents and the era's sexual and gender revolutions (and the subsequent anxiety arising from his lack of a stable gender identity) on his writing and relationships with women. Finding EH's portrayal of female characters as complex and individualized as his male characters, Chakravertty concludes that EH's texts, in resisting and subverting binary gender oppositions, reveals an "observant and sensitive author who spent all his life in search of an idealized androgynous self." Examines "Hills Like White Elephants," "Cat in the Rain," SAR, FTA, THHN, FWBT, ARIT, GOE and others. Includes index. Google Scholar Eby, Carl P.
