- Annotation
- Recounts, rebuffs, and resolves questions about long-debated mysteries and myths surrounding Heminway's colorful life. Brief articles address items that are either doubtful or actual occurrences in the author's legendary life. Articles appear in a seemingly random sequence as various themes and incidents recur and overlap: The six-word story, suicide, friendships and love affairs, questionable quotes ("Write drunk, edit sober"), battling literati. Each item concludes with a judgement: true, false, possible, or other conditional indication. Draws from interviews, new research, and an extensive list of scholarly and popular sources. Includes an extended account of Hemingway's high school girlfriends and previously unpublished memory of his youth by one of them, Frances Coates Grace.
