Call for Papers
JSSE Special Issue on the Stories of Ernest Hemingway
For a special issue of the Journal of the Short Story in English on 'The short stories of Ernest Hemingway,' we invite submissions on the wide range this title offers (there are more than one hundred pieces of published short fiction written by Hemingway). Yet, we encourage works that explore textually the stories, examine the discursive strata that create complex effects and renew the experience of reading. The deliberate equivocalness of Hemingway's writing, the music of understatement, the plastic quality of description, the syntactic vigor of discourse, the violence of desire and its strategies of concealment (verbal, visual, dramatic), the tension between the unsaid (private secret) and the unspeakable (universal secret), the poetics of cruelty lying at the core of his work, are, among many other relevant notions, pertinent reading keys disclosing new dimensions of the ambiguously simple complexity of Hemingway's writing.
Submissions, not exceeding 7000 words and conforming to the MLA
Style Manual (1985), should be sent electronically to the guest
editor:
