Hemingways Art of Non-Fiction [Paperback]

Ernest Hemingway devoted a large part of his writing life to nonfiction in the form of newspaper and magazine journalism and especially in the form of five full-length books. His nonfiction, however, is usually taken only as a diversion from the main business of his career, fiction, and examined only for light shed on the fiction. In this study - the first devoted exclusively to Hemingway's nonfiction books, the heart of his effort as a fact writer - the work is considered in its own right as a central part of his achievement.Acknowledgements - Introduction: Permanent Records - In Spite of It - All the Dope - One Central Necessity - A First Class Life - This About the Bulls - How Things Truly Were - Notes - Works Consulted - Index
