Abstract

Most readers now recognize the topophrenic quality of Ernest Hemingway's writing: his textual places become a rich bricolage of memories, associations, and layers of history, and Hemingway's landscapes are consistently complicated by comparisons with other stories from other places. By the time he began the focused composition of his earliest Nick Adams stories, Hemingway had already spent years immersed in cultures and countries far outside of America's borders. Yet these earliest Michigan-set stories show little interest in comparative, cosmopolitan place-awareness. Instead, this essay examines the way that Hemingway's conception of story-spaces and storyworlds seems to deliberately contract, rather than expand, revealing a far narrower literary cartography.
