Hemingway in Love

Viac o knihe

In June 1961, A. E. Hotchner visited an old friend in the psychiatric ward of St Mary's Hospital. It would be the last time they spoke--a few weeks later, Ernest Hemingway was released home, where he took his life. Their final conversation was also the final instalment in a story whose telling Hemingway had spread over more than a decade. To protect the feelings of Ernest's wife Mary, also a close friend, Hotch held back, keeping the conversations to himself for decades. Now for the first time, he tells the whole story, mostly in Hemingway's own words. Hemingway in Love is the intimate and repentantly candid chapter missing from the definitive biography of a literary giant.
