This book presents a psycho-biographic analysis of Ernest Hemingway’s works so as to map the complex mindscape of the author in order to unearth those thought processes that culminated in the character architecture of his protagonists inaugurating a tradition of a narcissistic self-fictionalization. His epistolary literature has been primarily used as an opulent source of biographic information for profiling the real Hemingway, de-skinning the photogenic cosmetic layers of glamour that this hunter-fisherman-soldier-author had a fetish to don flamboyantly. This methodical, meticulous book dissecting the character anatomies of Hemingway’s protagonists using the tool of biographic chronicle will enable Hemingway aficionados to decipher the narcissism conundrum that haloes this author’s mystic persona.

  • The book is an interesting critique on the innate, intriguing and insatiable obsessive yearning of heroic self-projection that hallmarks all the major novels of Ernest Hemingway.

  • Professor Bharadwaj's study of Hemingway's oeuvre is based on deeply researched scholarship. Many critics have tried to construct Hemingway's "mindscape" (to use her term); Bharadwaj comes close. Some of her psychoanalytic readings are excellent.
