BIOGRAPHICAL FICTIONS ABOUT THE GREAT AMERICAN AUTHORS F. SCOTT FITZGERALD AND ERNEST HEMINGWAY

Abstract

The biographical fictions about the great American authors F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway present a specific postmodern genre. In this respect, many novels have been created dealing with their life or with a specific part of their life. The life stories of the two emblematic figures of American and European modernism are interweaved. Historical facts and references to modernism find their place in the contemporary postmodern world by rendering different meanings.
