Fame Became Of Him PDF Download

In this account of the shaping of Hemingway's popular reputation, Raeburn presents his thesis that Hemingway's public personality in the 1920s, that of incorruptible artist struggling in poverty to become a literary master, was integrated with Hemingway the writer. But by 1924 he began projecting his public personality in the Paris-based Transatlantic review and by 1932 in Death in the Afternoon presented a portrait of its author as he wished to appear -- sportsman, manly man, exposer of sham, arbiter of taste, world traveler and battle-scarred veteran and continued to dramatize himself in his nonfiction. Raeburn maintains that Hemingway's celebrity derived not so much from the skill and success of his fiction as from his self-advertisements and mass media's portraits. ISBN 0-253-12690-8 : $17.50.
