Publisher's Synopsis
An illuminating exploration of the life and work of Ernest Hemingway, who at the time of this book's publication was widely regarded as the greatest living American novelist and short-story writer. Hemingway was also the recipient of the 1953 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. The new biography written by Mary Dearborn provides the fullest and most nuanced portrait to date of this complicated and mysteriously one-of-a-kind American artist. The uncontrollable demons that inspired and drove him throughout his life ultimately proved to be his undoing at the end of his life, and his seven novels and six collections of short stories have influenced and continue to influence the writing of fiction even after his passing.
