A great perspective from a true friend of EH.

It didn't simply dwell on the suicide, but instead, it framed the reasoning extremely well.

It offers a really intimate look at this marvelous man.

We get to see beyond the surface and understand the complex emotions and circumstances that might have led to such a tragic event.

The friend's words provide a deeper insight into EH's character, his struggles, and his remarkable qualities.

It makes us realize that there is often more to a person than what meets the eye.

This perspective serves as a reminder that we should always strive to understand and empathize with those around us, as we never truly know what they might be going through.

It also shows the power of friendship and how a true friend can offer a unique and valuable perspective on someone's life.

Overall, this is a thought-provoking and touching account that leaves a lasting impression.

A biography of Hemingway has emerged, one that "they" allegedly wanted to halt.

It makes for fascinating reading, yet it contains a fair amount of speculation.

This particular bio on Hemingway is not without its flaws.

While it offers some insights into the life and works of the renowned author, the presence of speculation detracts from its overall credibility.

Readers may find themselves questioning the authenticity of certain claims and wondering if the author's interpretations are entirely accurate.

Nevertheless, it still manages to capture the essence of Hemingway's complex personality and his significant contributions to literature.

Despite not being the definitive biography on Hemingway, it provides a valuable perspective and serves as a starting point for further exploration into the life and times of this literary giant.

Perhaps future biographies will offer a more comprehensive and accurate portrayal of Hemingway, one that is free from speculation and based solely on facts.

Until then, this biography will have to suffice for those eager to learn more about the man behind the masterpieces.

Very personal, not sentimental

It's truly a remarkable balancing act that I don't think I could have managed. I was shocked when I learned about the last year of Hemingway's life. The thought of not being able to write myself fills me with fear. How on earth could Hotch have endured such a situation? The writing in this piece is sharp, detailed, and completely self-effacing. It makes for a really good read. It delves into the personal struggles and experiences in a way that is both engaging and thought-provoking. You can't help but be drawn into the story and empathize with the characters. It's a testament to the author's skill that they can create such a vivid and emotional narrative without being overly sentimental. Overall, it's a great piece of work that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a good read.
