Hemingway by Kenneth S. Lynn

Kenneth S. Lynn, 'Hemingway,' published by Simon and Schuster (New York), 1987. Hemingway is a 702 page hardcover measuring 9 1/2" x 6 1/4".  The dust jacket has very light surface rubbing.  Inside, there is a personal note written from the author to the former owners and an address and phone number written on the back page, in ink.  The rest of the book is in very good condition, with clean crisp pages and solid binding. Book Summary Ernest Hemingway lived life on an epic scale.  And here, in the most searching and incisive biography of Hemingway ever written, Kenneth Lynn penetrates the larger-than-life public image to reveal the complex personality and contradictory emotions of the real man.  In riveting detail, Lynn re-creates every aspect of Hemingway's colorful life:  from his upbringing at the hands of a domineering mother who dressed him in girl's clothes, to his final act of desperation and despair--a tragic legacy from his manic-depressive father, who also committed suicide.
