Description

Why does Robert Cohn in The Sun Also Rises have to be a “writer”? This question deeply concerns not so much an individual vocational propensity as a racial deterministic “bloody” fate. Such racial determinism was largely alleged from a scientific racism in conspiracy with such sciences as biology and genetics at that time. Yet although some scholars so far have pointed to Hemingway’s anti-semitism described in the novel, such scientific racism, which is smuggled into dictions and representations in the novel, has rarely been spotlighted. The following paper tries to detect such a faint noise of the “bloody” science of race in representations of a Jew, Robert Cohn in the novel.
