This panel invites papers that contrast the writing and life of Ernest Hemingway with aspects of the American West. For example, papers might focus on "The Wine of Wyoming," Robert Jordan's Montana roots, or places where the west appears in stories like "The Snows of Kilimanjaro." Papers might also look at new ways of viewing Hemingway's own western experiences or later friendships with people like Lloyd and Tillie Arnold.

Please send a 250 word proposal and brief CV to Professor Sara Kosiba (skosiba@troy.edu) no later than March 10th, 2015.

All accepted panelists MUST be members (either newly enrolled or current in their membership status) of the Modern Language Association no later than April 7th, 2015.
