Recensione:
In this piercingly intimate new volume, A. E. Hotchner plumbs the depths of Hemingway's most poignant realizations and regrets - not just whom he loved and ultimately lost, but the very nature of his heart. A tender and devastating portrait...and one I will personally treasure (Paula McLain, author of The Paris Wife)
A. E. Hotchner is a natural storyteller, and it has been our good fortune that among his friends and acquaintances are bullfighters, glamorous women, talented actors, painters, poets, and interesting poseurs - people who attract and enlighten readers. Hemingway in Love is the crowning achievement in Hotchner's lifetime study of Hemingway, and I admire it immensely (Gay Talese)
The first complete understanding of the writer as a man...an important book (Library Journal (starred review))
A portrait of triumphant highs, melancholic lows, and the pervading tone of the subject's generation-a human being's love lost (Publishers Weekly)
Hotchner tells an engaging and harrowing story. . .offers us something of a 'behind the scenes' glimpse at how Hemingway was processing his past, and dealing with the lingering trauma of regret, physical pain, and his deteriorating creative ability. . .The final years of Hemingway's life have never been told with such eloquence and compassion (PopMatters)
A. E. Hotchner's Hemingway in Love is a poignant postscript to A Moveable Feast. . .a book of elegiac charm (BookPage)
This confessional of love not lost but thrown away adds fascinating details (how he cured his impotence in a church, his falling out with James Joyce), but it is the tone of intimate, sorrowful humility in place of boastfulness that moves most (Guardian)
An evocative picture of a man tormented by the memories of his first marriage (Observer)
