they tried to say the same thing about Hemingway... the last Hemingway Society was all about the homosexual themes of his work....
Here is one example from the 2012 Conference:
3.1 Hemingway’s Transgressive Sexuality (I) [Voorhies Auditorium]
Moderator: Douglas Sheldon (Kent State University)
1)
“’By the caress that was in his fingers, he expressed himself’: Homosocial Spaces, Homosexual Touches in Anderson’s ‘Hands’ and Hemingway’s ‘A Simple Enquiry,’” Debra Moddelmog (Ohio State University)
2)
“The Lure of Similarity: Incestuous Desire in the Stories of Nick Adams,” Eri Tamura (Chiba Institute of Technology)
3)
“The Lost Garden: Hemingway and ‘Up in Michigan,’” Tateo Imamura (Tokyo Woman’s Christian University)
This is an agenda that is being carried out deliberately...
I read FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS. I noticed from the cadence of the writing that Robert Jordan and Maria were not playing pattycake in one of the paragraphs.
And in another, again by the cadence OF THE WORDS, you could tell that he and Pablo were NOT having a HOMO love tryst.
