Publisher's Summary A revelatory look into the life and work of Ernest Hemingway, considered in his time to be the greatest living American novelist and short story writer, winner of the 1953 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. Mary Dearborn's new biography gives the richest and most nuanced portrait to date of this complex, enigmatically unique American artist, whose same uncontrollable demons that inspired and drove him throughout his life undid him at the end and whose seven novels and six short story collections informed - and are still informing - fiction writing generations after his death. ©2017 Mary V. Dearborn (P)2017 HighBridge, a division of Recorded Books

deadly dull. A grim moment by moment description of the most mundane events in a long life only rarely with insight beyond the most obvious and superficialafter listening to the book on several repeat occasions the lack of insight lack of anything other than a simple recitation of the day-to-day actual events is so disappointing even to the report of Hemingway's bowel movement

While this book has been informative and interesting, it was difficult for me to get totally threw the 33 lengthy chapters due to the incredible details of Hemingway's life. It would be the perfect source 4 a screenwriter Desiring to right I scrapped on Hemingway's life.I would have preferred an Abridged version that would have answered my curiosity about his life, but I'm glad I listened to the whole book. Sad that his life ended as it did as well as the lies of some of his siblings and sons.

i knew very little about Hemingway before listening to this book.The book was very thorough and I enjoyed it but thought some of the writing was corny, such as (paraphrasing): "Ernest would given her the moon, if he could have arranged it."...oh brother. Also, at times the narrator sounded like a drone or an automated robo-caller, with run-on sentences and little inflection.

The narrator does a excellent job, one of the best I have listened to. The biography is very interesting but has a few holes and places that I wish she would have explained better.

the writers rose colored glasses are so thick she paints a distorted image ofthe writer that's completely unbelievable. She chooses to ignore all the character flaws which gave depth to Hemingway's work.

This book made me appreciate EH far less than I ever have before.His overhyped history will never never sound the same again.If as a human you are perhaps GREAT at something, do you get a pass on most of the rest of your life?Before listening to this biography, I had a Hemingway quotation hanging on the wall of my office.It has since been removed.Read at your own risk...

Would you consider the audio edition of Ernest Hemingway to be better than the print version?In no way. The audio does the printed book a disservice. Would you be willing to try another one of Tanya Eby’s performances?Dearborn's work is very fine, as is her work on Mailer, Miller, etc. but unfortunately the spoken performance of this book has an almost patronizing tone: every aside or clause is overemphasized, and in several cases the inflection is just 'off' and doesn't sit well with the text. It sounds a little like Siri, or the flattened but forced affect of a computer reading. It's prim. Listening to Dearborn herself talk is lively, incisive. Not so with this performance, which I started to think was done by a 'bot'.

The story is really good as it shows just how human Hem was and all his flaws.That I really was entertained by.What I did not enjoy was the authors preoccupation with Hem's sexuality.If it's actual fact,sure tell us about it but when it's completely hearsay, then to continuously go back to it over and over again means it's important more to the author for some reason rather than delivering the actual story of his life.It's distracting because at one point I started listening for when the story would head that direction, which it did every time.I prefer bio's with the agenda only of delivering the story of a life as it actually was rather than speculation of the author for what ever reason.
