A selection of the greatest sentences by the master, Ernest
Hemingway. Sentences that can take a reader's breath away and are
not easily forgotten. Each sentence has been selected and examined
by authors such as Elizabeth Strout, Sherman Alexie, Paula McLain,
and Russell Banks; filmmakers Ken Burns and Lynn Novick; Sean
Hemingway, A. Scott Berg, and many others in this celebration and
conversation between Hemingway and some of his most perceptive and
interesting readers. "All you have to do is write one true
sentence," Hemingway wrote in his memoir, A Moveable Feast. "Write
the truest sentence that you know." If that is the secret to
Hemingway's enduring power, what sentences continue to live in
readers' minds? And why do they resonant? The host and producer of
the One True Podcast have gathered the best of their program (heard
by thousands of listeners) and added entirely new material for this
collection of conversations about Hemingway's truest words. From
the long, whole-story-in-a-sentence line, "I have seen the
one-legged streetwalker who works the Boulevard Madeleine between
the Rue Cambon and Bernheim Jeunes' limping along the pavement
through the crowd on a rainy night with a beefy red faced episcopal
clergyman holding an umbrella over her.", to the short, pithy line
that closes The Sun Also Rises, "Isn't it pretty to think so?",
this is a collection full of delights, surprises, and insight. "All
good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really
happened," wrote Hemingway. "And after you're finished reading one,
you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards, it all
belongs to you." For readers of American literature, One True
Sentence is full of remembrances-of words you read and the feelings
they gave you. For writers, this is an inspiring view of an element
of craft-a single sentence-that can make a good story come alive
and become a great story.
