In all, this is a lovely example of this interesting biography on Hemingway. In it, the author has reconstructed memories and accounts of Hemingway s family and friends, colleagues, and other biographers, the witnesses to his life. In doing so, it provides unparalleled insight into the man, with each account recalling aspects of his chameleonic personality and attempting to penetrate the fog of myth and outright fiction which has further obscured the real man in the quarter century since his death.
