EdG,
Pjk will probably respond too. If you read down, you will see some lively discussions interspersed with periods of "nada".
With regards to "Fathers and Sons", and in relation to the "Gambler, The Nun and the Radio", does anyone know whether current literature allows for the degree of racist stereotyping that was permissable in Hemingway's times. In "Fathers and Sons" there is a lot of racial stereotyping of Indians, as there is of Mexicans in "Gambler". I am rereading "Fathers and Sons" now and reviewed "Gamblers" recently. I am aware that rappers, both Black and white, have been utilizing the racial thing, along with other politically incorrect subjects, but I was wondering whether these things are being addressed by other writers.

Also, does anyone know much about Hemingway's life while he was married to Pauline in Arkansas or Alabama? How long was he married to her, and what was it that drove her away? Was she a clinging wife? Thanks, Zack
