The creativity walks a thin line between fiction and non-fiction. Constructed “creative nonfiction” scenes (289) should not rely upon anything in Hemingway’s “creative fiction” to be wholly factual, or even to be based on fact, or assume that Hemingway’s fictional characters are Hemingway himself. At times, it surmises that his fictional characters and events are fact. For example, while we know that Ernest and Pauline did visit Frenchspeaking bootleggers in Sheridan to buy wine, his short story “Wine of Wyoming” never names Ernest as the narrator, or identifies the narrator’s companion as male or female. Ernest and several friends made multiple visits and purchases around the area before Pauline arrived. Hemingway’s fiction is a composite of dialogue, characters, and invention derived from a series of visits. Likewise derived from many sources, Cockeyed Happy’s sometimes-salty “creative non-fiction,” like a “Sloppy Rita” at Sloppy Joe’s bar, ought to be taken with a grain of salt.","PeriodicalId":278890,"journal":{"name":"Rocky Mountain Review","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126760399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The hotel contains a temporality of “meanwhile” (37), or a simultaneity, which unites guests into a community without any need for them to be acquainted with one another. Yet, hotels can also bring the temporal focus to the future moment, always anticipating “occupants who will visit (and then leave), on a round-trip tour, who are on their way” (142). Constantly ready to be turned over to the next guest, grand hotels detach themselves from recent pasts and histories, allowing for a sense of constant renewal through the incessant traffic of occupants. The most insightful element of Hotel London, though, is its evaluation of how hotels allowed London to create, negotiate, and maintain global connections. One level on which this happened is in the British Empire. In imperial outposts far from the British Isles, grand hotels sought to communicate London’s superiority while also integrating local design features often tinged with Orientalism. Beyond the metropole-to-colony relationship, London’s grand hotels became a means for England to compete with France and the United States, two nations that had already mastered their own respective aspects of the hospitality arts. For France, it was cuisine, management style, and elegance. For the US, it was modernity and scale. London’s hotels sought to unite all these features and outdo competitors across the English Channel and on the other side of the Atlantic.","PeriodicalId":278890,"journal":{"name":"Rocky Mountain Review","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130591534","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Extrapolating from this episode of cultural exchange putatively and beautifully mediated through Taiwan or any such “country of waters,” Liao’s use of Western theory in deciphering the classic Chinese novel is then not only ancillary, but necessary. All this is made possible by the feminine (“the girl”) and the queer space (Baoyu’s Garden), which could precisely be a space such as Taiwan – currently the LGBTQ+ champion in Asia, mediating between China and the world; the loss of which would be, as Dream and Liao showed, tragic. To sum up, Liao’s innovative reading of the Chinese masterpiece helps us grieve the ungrieved in today’s China as in the Sinosphere. As Liao testified in his comparative approach, Dream’s affect powerfully and queerly traverses the boundary of past and present, male and female, China and the world, as well as East and West. While the book’s rigorous contextualization of Dream in the Ming and Qing culture will delight Redologists and Sinologists, those scholars specializing in modern and contemporary Chinese culture as well as gender studies, Sinophone studies, and ecocriticism will discover new research pathways with Dream, thanks to Liao’s theoretical intervention.","PeriodicalId":278890,"journal":{"name":"Rocky Mountain Review","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134587350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
