“Ernest Hemingway had an extravagant effect on others, leaving them beguiled, besotted, bruised, or bitter. To everyone he was an extraordi-nary, unforgettable presence.”
Scores of Ernest Hemingway's friends and intimates—wives, children, colleagues, critics, biographers, and companions assemble to paint a lively, revealing, and very personal picture of Hemingway caught in the act of living his life, one of the most exciting and enigmatic of the twentieth century.
