From Project Mailer

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?
