Hemingway: The Homecoming

This third volume of Michael Reynolds' life finds Ernest Hemingway in Paris in 1926 having finished "The Sun Also Rises", and follows him through the dissolution of his first marriage and the beginning of his second. Reynolds describes the emergence of the public image of Hemingway and his development into a mature literary talent. He receals how the emerging Hemingway hero represented a break from figures in his earlier work and shows how this transition had its roots in Hemingway's own life.
