Title: Great recollections about Papa
Review: This is the finest stories about Ernest Hemmingway, one of the best biographies and one of the best books I have ever read. It reads in a lovely 1940's style vernacular by another writer who calls himself a friend, but spends the entire book very skeptical about Hemmingway's writing style. Since the author Kiley did not actually read any of Hemmingway's work until The Old Man and The Sea, the book is actually dedicated to the loyal fighter, friend and drunk side of Hemmingway. It is really engaging and allows readers to appreciate Hemmingway and Kiley (although known as the "best known American in Paris," ends up dying fairly unknown).
Is the review positive or negative?
