Yet in \u003ci\u003eErnest Hemingway: Thought in Action\u003c\/i\u003e, Mark Cirino observes, \"Literary criticism has accused Hemingway of many things but thinking too deeply is not one of them.\" Although much has been written about the author's love of action-hunting, fishing, drinking, bullfighting, boxing, travel, and the moveable feast-Cirino looks at Hemingway's focus on the modern mind, paralleling the interest in consciousness of such predecessors and contemporaries as Proust, Joyce, Woolf, Faulkner, and Henry James. Hemingway, Cirino demonstrates, probes the ways his character's minds respond when placed in urgent situations or when damaged by past traumas.\u003cbr\u003e In Cirino's analysis of Hemingway's work through this lens-including such celebrated classics as \u003ci\u003eA Farewell to Arms\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Old Man and the Sea\u003c\/i\u003e, and \"Big Two-Hearted River\" and less-appreciated works including \u003ci\u003eIslands in the Stream\u003c\/i\u003e and \"Because I Think Deeper\"-an entirely different Hemingway hero emerges: intelligent, introspective, and ruminative.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Cirino\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0299286541\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299286545\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/16\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Mark Cirino","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44055881187583,"sku":"9780299286545","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f995a7bb-7cac-4a77-9c85-48445467ebab.jpg?v=1685038321","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ernest-hemingway-mark-cirino-9780299286545","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
