Compare True At First Light by ERNEST HEMINGWAY, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Ernest Hemingway’s last unpublished work is an intimate self-portrait and a stirring fictional record of his last African safari. His son Patrick, who joined him on the 1953 trip to Kenya, edits the novel, evoking the thrill of big-game hunting and the landscape’s extraordinary beauty as it examines the subtleties of a complicated marriage. Funny, insightful and fascinating, True at First Light: A Fictional Memoir recalls Hemingway’s wife Mary’s compulsive quest for a prize lion, his own obsession with an 18-year-old African woman and his encounters with local citizens. The author considers the difference between fact and fiction and the writer’s role in creating truth. | True At First Light by ERNEST HEMINGWAY, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
