Hemingway Lives! (Why Reading Ernest Hemingway… af Clancy Sigal

An excellent Hemingway primer. Perhaps the last hagiography of the man that will ever be written by a generation that was impacted by his work. Hemingway's 'manly' pursuits can appear comical and pathetic to a non-sympathetic reader of later eras - Sigal undertakes the job 'translating' Hemingway to the present day and largely succeeds.
