Title: LESS THAN A STUDY
Review: Peter Griffin's "Less Than a Treason" is a smoothly written account of Hemingway's years in Paris in the twenties, yet at only 177 pages, it seems both thin and unoriginal. A glance at the Sources note in the back makes clear how much Griffin relies on other scholars, most notably Carlos Baker, and although the author toured Hemingway's Paris, he makes the most glaring mistakes, left uncorrected by Oxford Press: he leaves the s off Chartres; Hemingway's left bank street runs up Montmartre, the wrong hill; the Vosges comes out Vogues; and he confuses Montmartre with Montparnasse. Key characters are never profiled adequately; Gertrude Stein in particular is passed over quickly, with no evaluation of her claims to have influenced Hemingway's prose style. Griffin's account of Hemingway's Parisian years is simply not competitive with the work of other biographers. Keep shopping.
