Book Detail
For many Ernest Hemingway was &8216one of the 21st century&8217s greatest authors&8217, a literary modernist and a writer without peer &8211 or at least, that is what they were taught at school or college or have otherwise picked up.The &8216Papa&8217 Hemingway of legend was a boozer and a brawler, a seasoned traveller, a &8216fine&8217 fisherman and hunter, a ladies&8217 man, an expert on Spain, the Spanish and bullfighting, a linguist fluent in Spanish and French, a bon vivant, a fearless renegade who had fought in three wars, but also a major literary stylist and wrote like an angel.They might be surprised to be told that much of it wasn&8217t just shameless Hemingway hyperbole, but most of it was untrue.As for the &8216literary greatness&8217, they might also be surprised to hear that after his successful debut and his follow-up novel, his career over the following thirty years was decidedly bumpy.Of his third novel To Have And Have the New York Times&8217 leading critic wrote &8216Mr. Hemingway&8217s record as a creative writer would be stronger if it had never been published.&8217Then came his best-known work For Whom The Bell Tolls. It was a runaway best-seller when it was published, yet just twenty years later another New York Times critic described it as &8216a curious mixture of good and bad, of marvellous scenes and chapters which are balanced off by improbably or sentimental or melodramatic passages of adolescent fantasy development.&8217Hemingway published nothing for the next ten years until his next novel, Across The River And Into The Trees appeared &8211 and it was universally panned by the critics. His friend and fellow novelist John Dos Passos wrote to a mutual acquaintance &8216How can a man in his senses leave such bullshit on the page?&8217The American writer, pundit and wit Gore Vidal wrote about his fellow countrymen &8216What other culture could have produced someone like Hemingway and not seen the joke?&8217Yet in 1954, he was awarded the Nobel Prize &8216For his powerful, style-forming mastery of the art of modern narration,&8217 and the Pope, the Kremlin and the US President sent their condolences to his widow after he blew his head off.So how did the global literary fame of &8216Papa&8217 Hemingway come about? That is the enigma this book examines.
