Description

Papa Hemingway: A Personal Memoir by A. E. Hotchner. 'Ernest Hemingway was more than a great writer; he was a great man, whose life became a legend in his own time. It is rare in literary history that such a great writer has a friend who can portray vividly, with warmth and objectivity, the man's life, his greatness, his death. For the last thirteen years of Ernest Hemingway's life, A. E. Hotchner was such a friend. Together the two of them went deep-sea fishing off Cuba; travelled from New York to Paris to Spain, where they toured the bullfight circuit; hunted in Ketchum, Idaho; ran with the bulls in Pamplona - and once even masqueraded as a matador and his manager in an actual bullfight. The author's affection for Hemingway is clear, and his moving account of the forces that eventually overcame the writer and drove him to self-destruction is told with compassion that reveals Ernest Hemingway's death as tragic'. The dust jacket has much wear and tape repair but now covered with clear archival Mylar. The book remains in a tight and bright condition.
