“Horse's ass isn't strong enough. From the time I read my first Hemingway work, The Sun Also Rises, as a student at Soldan High School in St. Louis, I was struck with an affliction common to my generation: Hemingway Awe.”
Hotchner chronicles Ernest Hemingway’s life from fourteen years before Hemingway's death with flashes back to Hemingway's childhood, to the Paris literary group in the Twenties, to his early years as a writer, and to the people and circumstances that were the reality behind his fiction. The past is interwoven with the present, and from this emerges an extraordinary picture of Hemingway and his relationships with other writers, his friends and his wives.
