- Annotation
- On Carlos Baker s seminal biography, Ernest Hemingway: A Life Story (1969), suggesting the biographer was limited by both his medium and audience, which restricted his latitude to create meaningful commentary. Kimbrel reexamines Baker s staid, factual approach, interpreting his account as a nuanced, sub-textual guide into Hemingway s life, with the intention of exploring the binaries of Hemingway s personalities. Concludes that Baker s biography suffers from his acquiescence to the caricatures and mythos of Hemingway the icon, not the writer.
