Hemingway in Love: His Own Story: A Memoir by A. E. Hotchner by A. E. Hotchner
2.0
A.E. Hotchner, befriended by Hemingway in his youth in 1953, wrote a sympathetic memoir about his time with the writer titled Papa Hemingway. Hemingway in Love is the most recent of Hotchner’s contribution to the Hemingway myth. This latter, short work emerged from a 1961 session with Hemingway during the final stage of his life.
Subtitled “The untold Story”, in focuses on Hemingway’s first and second wives, concluding that Hadley was Hemingway’s only soulmate and the woman who formed the core of his fictional, female protagonists.
Hotchner adds some pieces to that view, but Hadley’s place in Hemingway’s life was well established before Hotchner’s telling.
