Join us for a special episode devoted to Lieutenant Rinaldo Rinaldi from A Farewell to Arms!
On this episode, scholar Michael Kim Roos (co-author of the essential Reading Hemingway\u2019s A Farewell to Arms) explores the many dimensions of this beloved character. We discuss Rinaldi\u2019s role as Frederic Henry\u2019s best friend, his development over the course of the novel, Hemingway\u2019s historical inspiration for this character, and the way Rinaldi, a man of science and sensualism, represents one of the novel\u2019s most important themes. In addition, we cover Rinaldi\u2019s iconic appearance as Nick Adams\u2019s audience in Chapter VI of In Our Time.\xa0
