Hemingway: The Final Years

History

Michael Reynolds recreates the milieu that forged one of America's greatest and most influential writers. He reveals the fraught foundations of Hemingway's persona: his father's self-destructive battle with depression and his mother's fierce independence and spiritualism. He brings Hemingway through World War I, where he was frustrated by being too far away from the action and glory, despite his being wounded and nursed to health by Agnes Von Kurowsky-the older woman with whom he fell terribly in love.

Hemingway's First War the Making of a Farewell to Arms: The Making of "a Farewell to Arms

Michael Reynolds's extraordinary evocation of Hemingway's life continues in this volume, finding the American writer in Paris in 1926 and following him through the dissolution of his first marriage and the beginning of his second. We witness the emergence of the public version of Hemingway and the development of a mature and major literary talent. Most significantly Reynolds reveals the radical difference between the two versions of Hemingway's male heroes. The now accepted version of these actors (tough, self-reliant, lapidary figures) is shown to be a distinct break from the earlier figures who are vulnerable, wounded survivors living precariously in a doomed world in which they have little control. These are not men with a code of behavior, nor are they strong, forceful role models. They do not make things happen. They do not fare well with women. As Reynolds shows, this transition has its roots in Hemingway's own life. Hemingway's development from a rootless and insecure expatriate to the forceful figure of myth is a complex web involving his father's suicide, his second marriage and his return to America. Michael Reynolds reveals this narrative with his customary vigour, style and clarity.
