About this listen

 Between 1948 and 1961, Ernest Hemingway and A. E. Hotchner traveled together, fished the waters off Cuba, hunted in Idaho, and ran with the bulls in Pamplona. And everywhere they went, they talked.

For 14 years, Hotchner and Hemingway shared their thoughts and as Hemingway reminisced about his childhood, recalled the Paris literary scene of the 20s, and recounted the real events that lay behind his fiction, Hotchner took it all down.

His notes provide the material for this utterly profound and truthfully compassionate best-selling memoir about Ernest Hemingway.

Critic Reviews

"Brilliant.... Hotchner deserves to be compared not only to Capote, but to Boswell." ( The New York Times)

I wa surprised this only went for an 1hr 50mins, not sure if this is the whole book? It is a great story but muffled acoustics was very annoying. I think the narration was good, it was the recording that was the issue I think…

Muffled acoustics and rushed reading with little cadence. Poor and disappointing reading on an enjoyable book.
