Review: Green Hour: “Hemingway, Ecology, and Culture: Re-reading Ernest Hemingway in the Anthropocene” (Dr. Lay Sion NG)

When we think of Ernest Hemingway, what comes to mind are terms like “macho,” the “lost generation,” “the Spanish Civil War,” the “iceberg theory,” “suicide.” Lay Sion Ng introduced a new facet of the author, who received the Nobel Prize in 1954: Hemingway, a man who broke with the Victorian model of masculinity by bonding with nature. Who hunted elephants while at the same time feeling a deep connection to animals and the environment in general.
