Taking advantage of the Chicago location for the upcoming Modern Language Association Convention (January 9-12, 2014), we invite papers that explore Hemingway's relationship with the Chicago Renaissance. While Hemingway's direct interaction with prominent Chicago literary figures would not occur until later in the Renaissance, his proximity to Chicago while growing up and the knowledge of the city and its culture he gained during his early adult life make many of the figures and books associated with the Renaissance period, both early and late, viable options for contrast with Hemingway's development as a writer and his own literary production.
