Hemingway
The Grace and the Pressure
Description:... Ernest Hemingway shaped the prose style of a generation, a narrative style that in his own words "doesn't go bad afterwards". He's equally remembered for a life lived on the edge, be it in Paris or Cuba, and a code of behaviour that, while he couldn't always practise it himself, has become a benchmark for anyone looking to find existential significance. Author Aubrey Dillon-Malone reveals both the public and private man in the tangled skein that was his life, from the brawling, bragging Hemingway and the self-indulgent poseur, to the man behind the many masks. This fascinating biography provides a compelling portrait of the man who ultimately destroyed himself under the weight of his own impossible expectations.
