Thank you for a brilliant and intelligent biography about Hemingway. Always a pleasure to hear real people speak and to listen to writers. Well done! I learned a little more about humanity in the few lines that I read below!
I have read several books by Paul Hendrickson. He is a very gifted writer. Deeply underestimated, IMHO. Especially can recommend "The Living and the Dead."
If you could have put your egos in the closet before your entered the lecture hall, the talk would have been much more enjoyable. Tell the story without embellishments. The book on the other hand was enjoyable and glad to have it in my Hemingway library.
What's cool, is if ya go to Bimini Island still (not the airport but the other one the water taxi brings you to), at the little diner across from the dock there's pictures, fish on the wall he caught, and all kinds of junk in there of interest. Wish I could remember the name of the place, best grouper ever anywhere.
Thank you very much for this brilliant and interesting biography on Hemingway. Always nice hearing real people speak in real voices. I learned a few things more about people and dont care much for the nasty comments that I read below. Stupid people will unfortunately say even stupider things, especially with an even more stupider audience.
Wanted to hear about Hemingway, but was treated to two self-important, affeminate intellectuals commenting on themselves and congratulating each other for being so vital to society. "quick show of hands, how many people in this room saw so-and-so show by my dad that no one's heard of? ... ... ... Three percent of you? Interesting!" (crickets chirp) These 2 guys are insufferable.
Wonderful, except that EH said that writers should write with the probity of a priest, not priests should priest with the probity of a writer. I wish PH didn't throw his Mother the Church under the bus even as he uses so well her gifts.

MR HENDRICKSON IS AT ONCE, PASSIONATE AND HONEST.

However, the dignity of a duck moving serenely along the water is derived from the fact that seven-eights of the duck is above the surface.

thanks for that.
As a writer, this blows ... Tuned in for Hemingway, left due to two mediocre writers and self-indulgent members of the literary world.

They talk about Hemingway quite a bit... Hope you learned how to watch a video carefully before commenting in these 9 long years.
totally agree.
As suggested by comments below---truly a tedious turd-fest BUT advance to 30 mins then 43 for some insightful highlights.
Interesting, normally the person that is doing the interview sits on the right, I am intrigued now.
The leeches and remoras of actual art and thinking.

Suicide is never a "brave act". See "Hemingway's Brain"--EH was suffering from dementia from nine concussions.
Really annoying, unfocused, embarrassing.
So much ego...
If his book is anything like his appearance, no thanks. What a waste of time.
This is terrible.
