Hemingway's Days
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Ernest Hemingway oftens gets a bum rap in literary circles. Sometimes it is at the hands of semi-clever critics whose only writing credits come from the venom they spew. A pity actually because if we latch on to the opinions of others without taking the time of forming our own then we just may miss out on more than discovery. So reviews, even this one, should be taken with a grain of salt. BY-LINE HEMINGWAY is a good look at the early work of one of the icons in the American literary world. What you find here is some of his newspaper pieces as well as some later short magazine articles that span 30 years and a long lost era. Personally, I think it is one of the best introductions you'll find on the writer and his view of the times. Often, in less that 1,000 words, you'll get a glimpse of how he became one of the leading writers of his time and perhaps, like me, be impressed how well he did it. You'll also get to see the origins of his style and early character development. In my semi-humble opinion (next to A MOVEABLE FEAST) this is my favorite Hemingway book. But hey, this is just one man's opinion. Buy the book, read it yourself, and then come back here and offer up your view.
Hemingway treasure trove

Although Hemingway is considered to be primarily a novelist, his non-fiction writing deserves more attention. This volume fills a serious vacuum. Ronald Frost, M.A.
An insight into Hemingway: recycling writing to best effect
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I loved this book! Hemingway's fiction and journalism frequently interchange themes and even wholesale passages. This takes nothing away from either, rather demonstrating that good writing finds application in either venue. It is a vastly interesting piece of work to a reader that has an intrinsic interest in Hemingway, and his life and times. It is less interesting to the reader looking for a story, though there are some great ones in there. These pieces added a lot to my understanding of an american icon.
