Title: Worthy of Hemingway
Review: This book has a surreal quality. Strange city, beautiful young woman in love with a dying man (and what exactly is his problem?), and a bizarre few days during which no one really works or accomplishes anything except interacting with each other amid the strange time and place that Hemingway has placed them in. Typical of Hemingway, the writing makes you feel what the characters are feeling - so this time, instead of hunger or lust or fatigue, as in other novels, I developed a sympathetic headache while reading this one. This probably should not be your first exposure to Hemingway, as there are better known titles that support Hemingway's fame, but this belongs in the Hemingway canon.
