- Annotation
- Biography focusing on the careful crafting and manipulation of Hemingway s public persona, largely by the author himself. Leff s examination of the contemporary profession of authorship, literary marketplace, and publishing industry uncovers the mass media s role in promoting the author s legendary celebrity, which eventually eclipsed the man and his writing. Covers Hemingway s professional relationship with Scribner s, the composition, publication, and promotion of The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, and Death in the Afternoon, and the 1932 film production of A Farewell to Arms.
