"This book is an excellent compendium of familiar voices (Anderson,
Stein, and Fitzgerald) and voices not at first associated with
Hemingway and Faulkner (Frost, Nabokov, and Bogan) whose
assessments are nicely interwoven with the editors' commentary. The
result is an admirably researched companion to Hemingway and
Faulkner's oeuvres...Rovit and Waldhorn have given us a strong work
of Hemingway-Faulkner scholarship showing how America's pre-eminent
Modernists were 'locked [...] into what appears to be a remarkable
shared identity' during their heated and complex rivalry.
"Hemingway and Faulkner in Their Time "does admirably well in
delineating the dynamics among Hemingway, Faulkner, and their
contemporaries dynamics rife with criticism, sniping, and
(begrudging) professional admiration" - "The Hemingway Review",

"Editors Earl Rovit adn Arthur Waldhorn have collected musings on
two of America's greatest novelists. Hemingway and Faulkner in
Their Time compares and contrasts these contemporaries, who never
met, through the articles, journals, and interviews of their peers.
These peers include Sherwood Anderson, Gertrude Stein, John
Steinbeck, and Eudora Welty. While some of these reflections are
notably gossipy, what emerges is a portrait of two writers, each
skeptical and ironic, each giving bold, brash commentary on
American life, whose writing styles - and lifestyles - were near
polar opposites; yet both men were pioneers in American literature,
and neither wrote to please others." -Foreword, Sept/Oct 05
