ReviewsAcclaim for Mary V. Dearborn's ERNEST HEMINGWAY "The most fully faceted portrait of Hemingway now available." -- The Washington Post "A fresh perspective. . . . Keenly dispassionate, coolly discerning. . . . A kind of extended autopsy, not only of Hemingway's life, but his reputations as a model of American virility and as an enduring literary figure." -- USA Today "Perceptive and tough-minded. . . . Dearborn skillfully covers an enormous range of rich material." -- The New York Times Book Review "Fresh. . . . Impeccably researched. . . . Hemingway fans will find something interesting on almost every page." -- Houston Chronicle "A compelling portrait. . . . Dearborn captures Hemingway in all of his extremes, the story of a hugely flawed and endlessly compelling human being producing enduring art." -- Star Tribune
