Title: Mary and Ernest: Too Close to See
Author/Creator: Albert J. DeFazio
Publication Details: Hemingway, Cuba, and the Cuban Works, pp.40-60
Annotation: Draws on selected correspondence from Mary Hemingway to Hemingway revealing their troubled relationship. The letters span the time of their early marriage through Hemingway s neglectful treatment of Mary during the dangerous summer of 1959, and include Mary s explanation for wanting to leave Hemingway. Drawing on the letters, DeFazio asserts that although Mary was close to Hemingway for many years, she did not recognize his failing health as a serious issue or as a potential cause of his detached and depressed behavior.
