A National Book Award Finalist
‘The Young Hemingway will entertain and surprise…It should rank as one of the best nonfiction books of the year.’ —Los Angeles Times
Michael Reynolds recreates the milieu that forged one of America’s greatest and most influential writers. He reveals the fraught foundations of Hemingway’s persona: his father’s self-destructive battle with depression and his mother’s fierce independence and spiritualism. He brings Hemingway through World War I, where he was frustrated by being too far away from the action and glory, despite his being wounded and nursed to health by Agnes Von Kurowsky—the older woman with whom he fell terribly in love.
