As fantastically tormented as Hemingway was, his masculinity was always ascendant in his image. The male mask was the visage that was presented to the world, no matter what sensitivities lurked beneath. The performance of masculinity, and its conflation with genius, has not been a great thing for women, who are simultaneously the genius’s victims and forever excluded from the club of genius. But The Garden of Eden makes us wonder about the cost to the genius himself. What did it cost Hemingway to be so much one thing (a man) and never its opposite?
