Dear Papa: The Letters of Patrick and Ernest Hemingway

Edited by Brendan Hemingway and Stephen Adams

The True Gen – I have an inexhaustible appetite for all things Hemingway and loved devouring this collection which illuminates Hemingway’s life as a father. Ernest and Patrick, the middle of his three children, shared many passions, from football to boxing to Big Game hunting. Once you set aside the larger-than-life persona, you see Hemingway as complex, as flawed, as any other human. In this intimate exchange of letters we are treated to a tender, loving Papa you seldom find elsewhere.
