“I always figured that if I could write good books they would always sell a certain amount if they were good and some day I could live on what they all would bring in honestly…”
Bruccoli brings to life two decades of correspondence between Maxwell Perkins and Ernest Hemingway which charted the career of the most influential American author of the 20th century. The letters collected here are the record of a remarkable professional alliance—an enduring friendship between editor and author—and of Hemingway's development as a writer, including the pitfalls and triumphs of the writing process.
