Reviews
'Reading Hemingway's letters is to go back in time by stepping into the fascinating world of a revolutionary wordsmith; a voyage through decades to the very moments when literature was taking a sudden bend in the road; a shift that was being steered by the father of modern literature. Indeed, the value of these letters cannot be overstated.' Nick Mafi, Esquire 'Scholars will be deeply absorbed; general readers will find enjoyment and enlightenment.' Steve Paul, Booklist 'Away from the chisel work of his early fiction ... the letters show Hemingway at play in figurative language, humour, meandering sentences and desultory subjects.' Naomi Wood, Literary Review
Roughly written as they are these letters show occasional flashes of true Hemingway It is fascinating to watch the private rehearsals of what would be public performances. The Daily Telegraph
