is a farewell to arms fiction or nonfiction
A Farewell to Arms Michael Reynolds, however, writes that Hemingway was not involved in the battles described. Because his previous novel, The Sun Also Rises, had been written as a roman à clef, readers assumed A Farewell to Arms to be autobiographical.[3] A Farewell to Arms was begun during his time at Willis M. Spear's guest ranch in Wyoming's Bighorns.[5] Some pieces of the novel were written in Piggott, Arkansas, at the home of his then wife Pauline Pfeiffer,[6] and in Mission Hills, Kansas while she was awaiting delivery of their baby.[7] Pauline underwent a caesarean section as Hemingway was writing the scene about Catherine Barkley's childbirth.[8]
