Abstract

Ernest Hemingway’s posthumous novel The Garden of Eden is a text rife
with competing desires, especially those between heterosexuality, homosexuality,
and androgyny. It is a novel that also rehearses its author Ernest
Hemingway’s ambiguous feelings concerning masculinity and androgyny.
Through his writer-protagonist David Bourne, Hemingway dramatizes
not only his personal desires and fears about sexuality, but also how
“writing” can provide a solution for such insecurities.

Keywords

Hemingway; sexuality; textuality; masculinity; androgyny; homosexuality; Oedipus complex; psychology.
