“…William (1989) stresses impersonal poetics in this novel, and he points that Frederic is actually Hemingway's version of Eliot's poetics of impersonality with its metaphysical mask taken off. Raabe (1999) makes an analysis of anatomical metonymy in A Farewell to Arms. In terms of thematic studies, Gajdusek (1989) analyses the novel from the perspective of integrity psychodynamics and he argues that all relations between individuals are an outcome of life pressures.…”

The Torments of Spring: Jake Barnes’s Phantom Limb in The Sun Also Rises

While critics recently have found The Sun Also Rises a fruitful text for reexamining issues of gender and sexuality in Hemingway's work, a significant aspect of Jake Barnes's genital wounding has been overlooked. At least from the time of the American Civil War, a diverse body of medical literature has documented the psychosomatic reality of phantom genitalia in traumatically injured men. Revisiting the novel from this perspective-imagining that Jake Barnes is haunted by a penile ghost-allows us to see this character as something more than a victim of disability. Instead, we might think of Jake's material self as figuratively masculine but accidentally transgendered: a body that others can desire and that still can choose, or not, to reciprocate sexual feeling.
