HEMINGWAY AND HIS CRITICS An International Anthology Edited and with an Introduction by Carlos Baker Ernest Hemingway is perhaps the most widely read, best known, and most controversial of twentieth-century American writers. "For years before he won the Nobel Prize in literature at the age of fifty-five," Carlos Baker points out in his introduction, "Ernest Hemingway had been a citizen of the world. In every country of western and eastern Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia, and in the northern and southern parts of America and Africa, his books were known and read. As early as 1924 he was publishing poetry and prose in little magazines in Germany, Francé, and the United States. On October 1, 1927, he wrote from Paris to his American editor, Maxwell Perkins, to say with a mixture of pride and astonishment that he then had '2 British, 1 Danish, 1 Swedish, 1 French, and 1 Germán publisher.' Less than eighteen months after the first serious növel, his reputation was already international." The nineteen pieces collected here begin with an interview with Ernest Hemingway by George Plimpton and include the best of American Hemingway criticism (by Edmund Wilson, Lionel Trilling, Harry Levin, Joseph Warren Beach, Deming Brown, and others) as well as French, Germán, Italian, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish critics (André Maurois, Horst Oppel, Pier Francesco Paolini, Mario Praz, Keiichi Harada, Ivan Kashkeen, and Arturo Barea). The result is a stimulating and informative book that gives a world view of Hemingway; it discusses Hemingway in his earliest days and Hemingway abroad, and includes informative studies of the major works and Hemingway's style as a writer. This is the first collection of its kind. ALSÓ AVAILABLE IN CLOTH-$4.95 Hill and Wang, New York Vissza
