A superb analysis and insight into the life of Ernest Hemingway...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Harold Bloom has been one of the most respected literary critics of the 20th century. This book is not a capitalization of the life of Hemingway (as declared in a prior review), it is unique insight into the writer and the man. The edited articles composing the book were created by some of the most respected scholars, journalists, critics, and authors of his era. Mr. Bloom has culled through thousands of written pieces and has selected the best works to best exemplifiy Hemingway, not only in his accomplishments and works, but also his thought process and methodology to create his masterpieces. Some of these essays are critical reviews, not just kudos in praise of Hemingway's works. Although I have been a Hemingway fan for over 50 years, I discovered in this book many new insights into one of the greatest and respected authors of the 20th Century.
