A Fine unread copy in a Very good plus bright unclipped dust jacket with an abrasion to the bar code on the rear panel. The author has written a compelling history of Hemingway's relationship with his beloved 38-foot Wheeler power boat, Pilar, that served as his sea mistress allowing him to relax, fish, escape the pressures of notoriety and even hunt German submarines during World War Two. The Pilar serves as the perfect motif by which Hendrickson examines Hemingway's life, friends, lovers and writing endeavors.
