Requests:  0 Summary:  An illuminating reconsideration of a key period in the life of Ernest Hemingway that will change the way he is perceived and understood. Focusing on the years 1934 to 1961--from his pinnacle until his suicide--Paul Hendrickson traces the writer's exultations and despair around the one constant in his life during this time: his beloved boat, Pilar. We follow him from Key West to Paris, to New York, Africa, Cuba, and finally Idaho, as he wrestles with his angels and demons. Whenever he could, he returned to his beloved fishing cruiser, to exult in the sea, to fish, to drink, to entertain friends and seduce women, to be with his children. But as he began to succumb to fame, we see that Pilar was also where he cursed his critics, saw marriages and friendships dissolve, and tried, in vain, to escape his increasingly diminished capacities. Generally thought of as a great writer and an unappealing human being, Hemingway emerges here in a far more benevolent light. Drawing on previously unpublished material, including interviews with Hemingway's sons, Hendrickson shows that for all the writer's boorishness, depression, and alcoholism, and despite his anger, he was capable of remarkable generosity.--From publisher description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 813.52 Hemingway He   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Biography B Hemingway He   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 813.52 HEMINGWAY He   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lanai P/S Library Adult Biography B Hemingway He   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Molokai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 813.52 Hemingway He pbk Checked In Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Biography B Hemingway He   Checked In Add Copy to MyList
