Martina Mastandrea on "In Another Country"
Manage episode 354600394 series 2801603
The great Italian scholar Martina Mastandrea discusses “In Another Country,” one of Hemingway’s finest short stories.
After Mastandrea treats us to an Italian rendition of the famous opening paragraph, we explore the many treasures of the story: Why did F. Scott Fitzgerald admire the first sentence of the story so much? Is this a Nick Adams story? What does it tell us about Hemingway's perspective on war? What's the difference between our protagonist and the hunting hawks? Why is the major so insistent on speaking Italian grammatically…. and never marrying?
Join us in our discussion and celebration of “In Another Country” and then go re-read it!
