- Annotation
- Examines Hemingway s letters to his parents and sisters while a cub reporter in Kansas City and later as a volunteer ambulance driver at the Italian front. Concludes that the exaggeration in these early letters, intended to dominate, impress, and gain approval, reveals the initial stages of Hemingway s lifelong obsession with creating and perfecting a sophisticated and accomplished public image.
