À propos de cet audio

An award-winning historian and author, Paul Hendrickson here turns his attention to one of America’s most cherished literary icons, Ernest Hemingway. Drawing on previously unpublished material, Hendrickson focuses on Hemingway’s life in its twilight, just prior to his suicide, and the seemingly singular constant in the man’s life: his boat, Pilar. On this vessel, Hemingway would entertain and travel, but it would also be the scene of some of his greatest tragedies.

“The author, an accomplished storyteller, interprets myriad tiny details of Ernest Hemingway’s life, and through them says something new about a writer everyone thinks they know.” ( The Economist Books of the Year 2011)
“Hendrickson’s engrossing book offers a fresh slant on the rise and fall of a father figure of American literature.” ( San Francisco Chronicle Best Books of 2011)

I have read several Hemingway biographies, and this was the best, by far. And it doesn’t even claim to be a biography, as much of his early life is not included. Yet it felt more in depth and comprehensive than other books, accomplished, in large part, by the overarching focus: his beloved boat. Lots of looking backwards and forward, yet it all seemed to work. Very well researched. Read it!

Absolutely fantastic!
