Hemingway's Dark Night: Catholic Influences and Intertextualities in the Work of Ernest Hemingway
In this groundbreaking study, Matthew Nickel explores Hemingway's Catholic faith through close scrutiny of his fiction and other writings. Using previously unpublished Hemingway letters, Nickel reveals how Hemingway's profound sacramental sense of ritual, pilgrimage and sacrifice informed his work ... and his life.

PRAISE:
"Matthew Nickel is a thorough and careful scholar. He has delved beneath the surface and has found a treasure trove of meaning. This book will enrich every reader's understanding of Hemingway, the man and his work."
- Valerie Hemingway, author of RUNNING WITH THE BULLS: MY YEARS WITH THE HEMINGWAYS
"Nickel's scholarship is impeccable, thoroughgoing and perspicacious. ... Far from being a matter of what Hemingway called "dusty ... disputed dialectics," this volume is a cutting-edge study of the most urgent concerns of one of our greatest writers. Don't just put it on your shelves, dear reader, read it and reread it, teach it, live it and relive it with Hemingway.?"
- H.R. Stoneback, Distinguished Professor of English, SUNY New Paltz, author of Hemingway's Paris: Our Paris?
"Matt Nickel has written a very strong Catholic reading of all of Hemingway, grounded in lucid textuality and exhaustive research. [Nickel] documents the irrefutable presence of Catholic authors in Hemingway's writing - from Baudelaire and Eliot to Dante and St. John of the Cross ... Equally important is Nickel's presentation of Hemingway's intentionally submerged spirituality, a profound treatment that readers and critics of Hemingway will find unexpected and invaluable, whether they want to or not."
- Allen Josephs, past president of the Hemingway Foundation and Society, author of RITUAL AND SACRIFICE IN THE CORRIDA
