Review
"[T]he 'restored' edition [is] ably and attractively produced by Patrick and Seán Hemingway....The new story 'A Strange Fight Club' is well worth having, too." Christopher Hitchens, The Atlantic Monthly
Review
"Sean Hemingway's new edition tucks a variant draft of that chapter, now called 'Winters in Schruns', farther up in the book, just ahead of the long-familiar three-part portrait of F. Scott Fitzgerald, so its effect seems diffuse.
There may be a valid chronological reason for closing the book with Hemingway's reflections on Fitzgerald, but the final, sendoff tone is far less effective or emotion-stirring than the original. Hemingway never came up with a satisfactory ending for the book, his grandson says.
'Although this manuscript lacks a final chapter,' Sean Hemingway writes in the introduction, 'I believe that it provides a truer representation of the book my grandfather intended to publish.'" Steve Paul, The Kansas City Star (read the entire )

About the Author
Ernest Hemingway did more to change the style of English prose than any other writer of his time. Publication of The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms immediately established Hemingway as one of the greatest literary lights of the twentieth century. As part of the expatriate community in 1920s Paris, the former journalist and World War I ambulance driver began a career that led to international fame. Hemingway was an aficionado of bullfighting and big-game hunting, and his main protagonists were always men and women of courage and conviction who suffered unseen scars, both physical and emotional. He covered the Spanish Civil War, portraying it in the novel For Whom the Bell Tolls, and he also covered World War II. His classic novella The Old Man and the Sea won the Pulitzer Prize in 1953. Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954. He died in 1961.
