Hemingway scholar Arthur Waldhorn's lively, personal style and his clear-eyed view of Ernest Hemingway makes this book not just an exegesis for the scholar but for general readers as well. Arthur Waldhorn discusses Hemingway's sense of the world as well as his writing style. He also analyzes, in chronological order, the writings -- beginning with the early stories and sketches -- tracing major patterns that recur throughout Hemingway's career. His approach to each book is a critical examination of its achievements and failures.
