Ernest Hemingway: Thought in Action by Mark CirinoISBN: 9780299286538
Publication Date: 2012-07-01
Although much has been written about the author's love of action--hunting, fishing, drinking, bullfighting, boxing, travel, and the moveable feast--Cirino looks at Hemingway's focus on the modern mind, paralleling the interest in consciousness of such predecessors and contemporaries as Proust, Joyce, Woolf, Faulkner, and Henry James. Hemingway, Cirino demonstrates, probes the ways his characters' minds respond when placed in urgent situations or when damaged by past traumas.
