- Author/Creator
- Ruth A. Hawkins
- Annotation
- Detailed biography of Hemingway s second marriage to Pauline Pfeiffer, covering their initial 1925 Paris meeting through their deaths. Seeks to straighten out the slanted record presented by Hemingway; focuses on the Pfeiffer family s significant moral and financial support during one of the most productive periods in the author s career. Hawkins chronicles Pauline s devotion to filling Hemingway s every need as a man and a writer, often at the expense of their children. Includes commentary on her editorial guidance, particularly on The Sun Also Rises, as well as background on the intensely private Pfeiffer family, Pauline s education, and Hemingway s initial relationship with Pauline s younger sister, Virginia. Includes a dozen black-and-white photographs, many of the Pfeiffer clan, along with extensive notes and bibliography.
