Hotchner has just released a new book on Hemingway. Learn more about it at Amazon.com by following the link below:

The Good Life According to Hemingway

It says it has 150 "mostly rare" photos of Hemingway, so that should make it attractive.

I am sorry but I just cannot get excited about Hotchner's new book Yes, I will likely buy it just to enjoy the pictures, but the chestnut episode made me lose all trust in the man as a chronicler of the truth. At 88, he seens determined to squeeze every last penny out of the relationship, just as Ginsberg did with Kerouac. And I just don't trust his version of what happened, I am sure many of you may disagree and i welcome your comments.

The photos sound neat, I should like to see them.

DEARPAPA,DEAR HOTCH sounds like a good read. "The collected correspondence between Ernest Hemingway and A. E. Hotchner. Includes more than 160 letters, cables, and cards the two friends exchanged from 1948 to 1961. With annotations and a textual commentary that enables readers to reconstruct the features of the original manuscripts and envelopes"--Provided by publisher.

In one letter Hemingway writes , " I have a Cheyenne great,great grandmother [ don't tell Cowley ] and it helps quite a lot. This Gig is the only boy that turned out Indian; not Cherokee, Digger, Pyute, Navajo, or any of those unfortunate peoples but Northern Cheyenne and he has all the problems of them, as I always had, and all the lack of problems that having that blood gives you. "

PAUL,

I have just ordered THIS IS MY LIFE FIDEL...taking it with me for a leisurely read on Carriacou. Have you read it? I am wondering what he has to say about Hemingway, if anything. Has anyone else read it?
