<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Excellent...Reynolds is as good on the Paris writing as he is on the Paris life. --<em>Times Literary Supplement</em><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The 1920s in Paris are the pivotal years in Hemingway's apprenticeship as a writer, whether he was sitting in cafes or at the feet of Gertrude Stein. These are the heady times of the Nick Adams short stories, Fitzgerald's <em>The Great Gatsby</em>, and the writing of <em>The Sun Also Rises</em>. These are also the years of Hemingway's first marriage to Hadley Richardson, the birth of his first son, and his discovery of the bullfights at Pamplona.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Engrossing...Reynold's penetrating analysis and meticulous scholarship reveal Hemingway in all his complexity as man and artist, with no flaw glossed over. The hypocrisy, selfishness, paranoia, the discipline, genius, and ruthlessly self-promoting ambition--are all illuminated and woven into a narrative as compelling as a novel.-- "Choice"<br><br>Reynolds establishes himself as without peer among those still sorting and sifting the tangle of lies and facts that are Hemingway's self-invented life...The genius of the book lies in a graceful and informative linkage between literary creation and biographical incident.-- "Library Journal (starred review)"<br><br>The best book about how Hemingway became Hemingway.--Scott Donaldson<br>
