Ernest Hemingway is probably at least as well known for who he was as for what he wrote. He's not the only writer you can say that about, but he's certainly one of the most pronounced examples of that species known as Literanius Leonicus.
A. E. Hotchner, a frequent travelling companion during Hemingway's latter days, brings you inside the lion's den in this engaging, subjective memoir.
At its root, Papa Hemingway forms a kind of final testament on the writer's calling, as lived and observed by one of the most famous exemplars of that calling in our time. Hemingway talks a lot about writing as an art and craft, and the importance of sticking with it even when one feels empty or distraught.
