Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
“Go take a flying leap if you came here to flatter me.” It’s easy to imagine Hemingway at his desk, reacting with his fabled aggression when interrupted for advice—as he does here. Known for his globetrotting; passion for bullfighting, fishing, and hunting; fascination with war; and feuds with rivals like Gertrude Stein, he set the 20th-century template for the artist as an adventurer and man of action. Kirk Curnutt, a professor and member of the board of directors of the Ernest Hemingway Society, and multi-award-winning author John Updike arrange a mesmerizing meeting with this prickly American genius.

I have been a life-long student of Ernest Hemingway's literature and books about his life and work. So I have to admit that I initially approached this latest offering about Papa with initial skepticism. Coffee with Hemingway? I am not sure that I ever thought about drinking coffee with Hemingway; anyway, it would not have been coffee. However, I soon was savoring the flavor of this book down to the last drop. The format of this very compelling book seemed to have allowed Curnutt, who I personally know to be indeed very knowlegeable about the man, freedom to capture the very complex and nuanced personality of America's most famous and arguably most representative author. Bravo!
