Between 1948 and 1961, Ernest Hemingway and A. E. Hotchner
traveled together from New York to Paris to Spain, fished
the waters
off Cuba, hunted in Idaho, ran with the bulls in
Pamplona-and once
Hotchner even masqueraded as a matador and Hemingway's
manager in an
actual bullfight. Everywhere they went, they talked. For
fourteen
years, Hotchner and Hemingway shared their thoughts and as
Hemingway
reminisced about his childhood, recalled the Paris literary
scene of
the twenties, and recounted the real events that lay behind his
fiction, Hotchner took it all down. His notes on the many
occasions he
spent with his friend Papa-in Venice and Rome, in Key West,
on the
Riviera, and in Ketchum, Idaho, where Hemingway died by his
own hand in
1961-provide the material for this utterly profound, and
truthfully
compassionate best-selling memoir about the Nobel and Pulitzer
Prize-winning author. With a new introduction by the author
and with
never before published photographs from his personal
collection, Papa Hemingway is a mesmerizing portrait.
