- Title
The "Whine" of Jewish Manhood: Re-Reading Hemingway's Anti-Semitism, Reimagining Robert Cohn.
- Authors
Kaye, Jeremy
- Abstract
The article examines the significance of Robert Cohn, "The Sun Also Rises's" infamous Jewish boxer, to the construction of masculinity in Hemingway's novel. Whereas a long critical tradition has treated Cohn's Jewishness largely as evidence of Hemingway's supposed anti-Semitism, the author maintains that Cohn's Jewishness has subversive potential. He asks how we can reimagine Cohn, not as an object of anti-Semitism, but as an agent of Jewish manhood, disrupting the novel's privileged pairing of hegemonic and Hemingwayesque masculinity.
