[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. Kelli Larson welcomes your assistance in keeping this feature current. Please send reprints, clippings, and photocopies of articles, as well as notices of new books, directly to Larson at the University of St. Thomas, 333 JRC, 2115 Summit Avenue, St. Paul, MN 55105-1096.

[Comparative study arguing that "Vonnegut's life and work exist as a veritable palimpsest of Hemingway's." Broer examines their shared legacy of childhood trauma, disabling war experience, and depression and its impact on their writing, contending that despite Vonnegut's numerous attempts to exorcise EH's ghost, his fictional self-creations mirrored the Hemingway hero's quest for wholeness and psychic balance. Pairing works such as SAR with Mother Night, FTA with Slaughterhouse-Five, and DIA with Breakfast of Champions, Broer demonstrates how each "artist warrior" was not only at war with himself but also with the other's artistic vision, and with the concept of war itself. The study closes with an examination of EH's discovery of the transformative power of the buried feminine self in his later works, including FWBT, OMS, IIS, GOE, and UK.]

[Study of the racial consciousness challenging white privilege and socially constructed notions of racial identity that permeates EH's writings. Begins with close readings of EH's treatment of Native Americans and African-Americans in several stories including "Indian Camp," "The Doctor and the Doctor's Wife," "The Battler," and "The Porter" before moving on to an examination of his complex relationship with Africa in "The Snows of Kilimanjaro," "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber," GHOA, and UK.
