David Wyatt is a literary scholar and commentator who appeared on podcasts to discuss the life and works of Ernest Hemingway. During his discussion, he referenced several Hemingway titles, including For Whom the Bell Tolls, noting the background of the protagonist Robert Jordan as a member of the Abraham Lincoln brigade. He mentioned Hemingway's non-fictional works Green Hills of Africa and Death in the Afternoon to illustrate how the author shifted away from a clipped style toward a more meditative, reflective, and recursive style. Wyatt also referenced In Our Time while discussing Hemingway's early stories and the concept of mental conversation. Furthermore, he discussed posthumous publications such as A Movable Feast, which was put together by his fourth wife Mary, Islands in the Stream, and The Garden of Eden. To demonstrate Hemingway's lasting influence on later writers, Wyatt brought up Tim O'Brien's widely anthologized work The Things They Carried, noting that he had recently read a biography of its author.
