New approaches to teaching Hemingway in the context of film Though Ernest Hemingway distrusted Hollywood and often found himself in conflict with directors and producers, he frequented theaters and freely acknowledged the art and potential that cinema contained. In turn, the film industry's interest in his stories has endured for nearly a century. Focusing on the relationship between written and cinematic work, Hemingway and Film brings together diverse literary and film studies scholars to both deepen understanding of Hemingway's fiction and film adaptations and to provide practical guidance for approaching these topics in the classroom. By examining Hemingway's writing and film, we can identify rich crossovers between literary criticism, film studies, and pedagogy. Chapters explore Hemingway's stories, themes, construction, and context while interrogating the art of adaptation itself, examining what makes for successful retellings or defines fidelity to the original work. Contributors include Alice Mikal Craven, Christina Parker-Flynn, Jean Jespersen Bartholomew, Donald A. Daiker, Sean C. Hadley, Kirk Curnutt, James Plath, Timothy Penner, Suzanne del Gizzo, Tatiana Konrad, Stephen Whittaker, Scott D. Yarbrough, and the late Peter L. Hays.

Skip Spence was a soldier, a rock star, a folkie, a husband and father, a biker, an innovator, an addict, a cult phenomenon, and a ward of the state. The cast of characters in his story includes some of the biggest stars in music: Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Neil Young, and many more. However, the highs and lows of fame took their toll, and Spence spent much of his life battling addiction and mental illness. He was in and out of hospitals and group homes, but would perform in various bands during his lucid moments and is best known for his work with Jefferson Airplane and as the co-founder of Moby Grape. Songs from his cult solo album Oar have been covered by Tom Waits, Beck and Robert Plant. Weighted Down is the first book to tell the full story.
