Ernest Hemingway embraced adventure and courted glamorous friends
while writing articles, novels, and short stories that captivated
the world. Hemingway's personal relationships and experiences
influenced the content of his fiction, while the progression of
places where the author chose to live and work shaped his style and
rituals of writing. Whether revisiting the Italian front in A
Farewell to Arms, recounting a Pamplona bull run in The Sun Also
Rises, or depicting a Cuban fishing village in The Old Man and the
Sea, setting played an important part in Hemingway's fiction. The
author also drew on real people-parents, friends, and fellow
writers, among others-to create memorable characters in his short
stories and novels. In Influencing Hemingway: The People and Places
That Shaped His Life and Work Nancy W. Sindelar introduces the
reader to the individuals who played significant roles in
Hemingway's development as both a man and as an artist-as well as
the environments that had a profound impact on the author's life.
In words and photos, readers will see images of Hemingway the
child, the teenager, and the aspiring author-as well as the
troubled legend dealing with paranoia and fear. The book begins
with Hemingway's birth and early influences in Oak Park, Illinois,
followed by his first job as a reporter in Kansas City. Sindelar
then recounts Hemingway's experiences and adventures in Italy,
France, Spain, Key West, Florida, and Cuba, all of which found
their way into his writing. The book concludes with an analysis of
the events that preceded the author's suicide in Idaho and reflects
on the influences critics had on his life and work. Though much has
been written about the life and work of the Nobel prize-winning
author, Influencing Hemingway is the first publication to carefully
document-in photographs and letters-the individuals and locales
that inspired him. Featuring more than 60 photos, many of which
will be new to the general and academic reader, and unguarded
statements from personal letters to and from his parents, lovers,
wives, children, and friends, this unique biography allows readers
to see Hemingway from a new perspective.
