Yale professor Wai Chee Dimock continues her reading of Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls, tracing how Robert Jordan sets the pull of distant homes against the immediate world of the Spanish Civil War. She works through his memories of Paris and Missouri against the rootedness of the guerrilla fighters, then turns to the novel's racial analogies, the Moors in Spain and lynching in America, as a source of irony rather than easy parallel. The lecture closes by treating the American Civil War itself as a distant home Jordan tries to pull into the present war in Europe. Part of the Yale course Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Faulkner, delivered as a close textual analysis with chapter markers following the novel's key passages on homeland, race, and displacement.
