Hemingway’s Boat: Everything He Loved in Life and Lost, 1934-1961by Paul Hendrickson
If you’ve read Hemingway biographies before, this one’s different. If you haven’t and are unfamiliar with Hemingway’s life, Paul Hendrickson’s book will tell you a decidedly more human story about a gifted, difficult, and troubled person. The book is powerful and moving because it is unsparing in how it reveals not just Hemingway’s demons and flaws but how he somehow endured to create literature that, at its best, is still crystalline and alive.
