REVIEWS
“Linda Wagner-Martin’s excellent biography shows how Hemingway’s life and work was roiled by a series of personal, psychological, and political conflicts. You feel confident that she knows more about her subject than almost anyone else.”—Scott Donaldson, author of Hemingway vs. Fitzgerald: The Rise and Fall of a Literary Friendship
“This magisterial study is at once a focused biography of the author, a sensitive reading of his most important works, and a respectful survey of the relevant criticism. Readers of it will take away a renewed understanding of Hemingway as dedicated artist.”—Frederic Svoboda, author of Hemingway’s The Garden of Eden
“This is the most important book about Hemingway in the last 25-30 years, maybe, ever, to my way of thinking about him. This book definitively documents the centrality of war for Hemingway’s work.”—James Meredith, former president of The Ernest Hemingway Foundation
