Hemingway in Love: His Own Story by A.E. Hotchner
4.0
Hotchner, a good friend of Hemingway, meets him and the latter recounts his marriages to two women both of whom Ernest loved very much. Torn between his love for them, Hemingway greatly suffers in his heart. The book is beautifully written and has a very honest tone. It doesn't hide the negative parts of Hemingway in describing the kind of man he was in his prime. No effort is made to hide his arrogant nature.
I liked how Hotchner uses the technique of shifting narrative time and place throughout the memoir. The reading takes us from Paris and Venice to hot Cuba and the annals of Africa. Widely traveled and with many friends Hemingway loses it all toward the end of his days. The author beautifully captures the source of his great sadness and regret.
I'd rate it 4 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
