ERNEST HEMINGWAY AND NORMAN MAILER BOTH WROTE fiction and journal ism that deal with what I am calling here the “Reds.” In Hemingway’s For
WhomtheBellTolls andin Mailer’s Harlot’s Ghost and Oswald’sTale Reds or communists of different types, stripes, and nationalities appear in various significant roles and guises. There are several questions I would like to ad
dress, especially the following: What is it that attracted Hemingway and
Mailer to write about the Reds? Even if they depict very different historical periods, can we still discern certain commonalities in their approaches to and treatment of the Reds? Further,what is the dominant image of them in the works of Hemingway and Mailer?
