Professor of English @NCState. Norton Critical Edition of A Farewell to Arms and author of Understanding James Baldwin (@USCPress). #Hemingway, #JamesBaldwin.

@Arthurblakee@1truepod Thanks for listening. Hemingway wrote with great purpose (the several drafts suggest it). So the question (part. when looking at this novel) becomes, why does he do what he does? It makes the reading more complicated and enriching.
@Arthurblakee@1truepod Exactly. Great questions to be sure. Your last one drives my own scholarship. Add one more to the list: why does he do so? Sheer bigotry seems too easy an answer.
