Publisher's Synopsis
This book is about two outstanding novelists. Ernest Miller Hemingway is one of the most interesting characters you will ever read about in your life. After reaching the age of being able to join the war effort his journeys in life only had begun. He traveled everywhere with excuses to write. He loved big game hunting and large fishing expeditions and to brag about his many catches and hunts. His bragging was so big that everyone knew he had to be lying. Hemingway predicted at a young age that he would commit suicide like his father. Suicide ran rampant in the Hemingway family. You will find in the book why the Hemingways all committed suicide. Samuel Clemens, Mark Twain, whatever name you want to call him, was a complex individual who was moody and had a dark side but never showed it to his audience because he needed their buy-in for him to make money. When he worked as a riverboat captain, he saw how the rich and famous lived. He thought he would like that kind of life.
