- Examination of Hemingway s lengthy correspondence with the aging art critic, beginning in 1949 and ending just prior to Berenson s death in 1956.

Offers insight into Hemingway s Cuban years, desire to be recognized as an artist, and need for a father-figure. Includes information regarding his marriages to both Martha and Mary. Appendices list the history of correspondence between Hemingway and Berenson and the books in each man s library by or about the other man.
