Summary

One Man Alone is a collection of articles that critically re-examine To Have and Have Not, a novel long-considered to be one of Hemingway's minor works. Through careful textual analysis, the contributors to this collection reveal some of the more subtle dimensions of the novel and provide new interpretations of its structure and meaning. The collection highlights the richness and insight of the novel and reconsiders its place amongst Hemingway's other works.
