"A useful resource for Hemingway fans interested in learning more about the facts behind his fiction." - Publishers Weekly. "A worthwhile addition to those studies that have made meaningful contributions to our understanding of Ernest Hemingway and his literary canon." - Hemingway Review. "Ernest Hemingway embraced adventure and courted glamorous friends while writing articles, novels, and short stories that captivated the world. He drew on real people and real places to create memorable characters and engaging settings for his short stories and novels. In Influencing Hemingway: People and Places That Shaped His Life and Work, Nancy W. Sindelar identifies the individuals and geographic locations that had a profound impact on Hemingway's development -- both as a man and as an artist. In this book, readers will encounter Hemingway the child, the teenager, and the aspiring author, as well as the troubled legend dealing with paranoia and fear. The book begins with Hemingway's birth and early influences in Oak Park, Illinois, followed by his first job as a reporter in Kansas City. Sindelar then recounts Hemingway's experiences and adventures in Italy, France, Spain, Key West, and Cuba. The book concludes with an analysis of the events that preceded Hemingway' suicide in Idaho and reflects on the influence of critics on his life and work. Although much has been written about the Nobel prize-winning author, Influencing Hemingway is the first publication to carefully document -- in unguarded statements from personal letters and more than sixty photographs -- the individuals and locales that inspired him, allowing readers to see Hemingway from a new perspective." - from the rear outer cover. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Nancy W. Sindelar is a board member of the Ernest Hemingway Foundation of Oak Park. With her research, personal experiences, and extensive collection of photographs, her writing and presentations bring Hemingway to life.
