Description
This comprehensive and far-ranging collection of essays by renowned Hemingway biographer Jeffrey Meyers is an invaluable exploration of fascinating, previously neglected aspects of the writer's life and work. Topics include the FBI's intensive surveillance of Hemingway and its apalling abuse of power; his friendship with film stars Humphrey Bogart and Gary Cooper; his encounters with and portrayals of war; Hemingway's matadors, who inspired The Dangerous Summer; how Hemingway mastered his public image, and how it ultimately imprisoned him; an astute examination of the rampant growth of the Hemingway myth; and revelatory discussions of For Whom the Bell Tolls, Across the River and into the Trees, A Moveable Feast, and some of his most famous short stories. It also contains the controversial essay by Lawrence Kubie that addresses psychoanalytic aspects of the writer's work and personality, and which Hemingway suppressed.
