More about the book
Between 1948 and 1961, Earnest Hemingway and A. E. Hotchner traveled together from New York to Paris and Spain, fished off Cuba, hunted in Idaho, and ran with the bulls in Pamplona. And everywhere they talked. For fourteen years, Hotchner and Hemingway shared a conversation. Hemingway recalled his childhood, spoke of the literary scene in Paris in the twenties, remembered his early years as a writer, and recounted the real events behind his fiction. Hotchner documented everything. His notes on the many occasions he spent with his friend Papa—in Venice and Rome, in Key West, on the Riviera, in Ketchum, Idaho, where Hemingway died by his own hand in 1961—form the material for this completely truthful, deeply compassionate memoir of the Nobel and Pulitzer Prize winner. What emerges is an extraordinary portrait of a great writer who lived and defined his life.
