Hemingway in Love: His Own Story by A.E. Hotchner
5.0
4.5
How is it possible that Hotchner's memory is THAT good to get the script verbatim? it's not. It annoyed me that he claimed he did. Why not just say you knew the man well enough to predict his speech??
Story was sweet and emotional. I liked it mainly because of the book name dropping; one can guess Hemingway's feelings and motivations at the time of writing due to this text. In addition his mention of the Indian birth tale (which I read in Fiji as a part of a collection) which is my favorite story.
