    Carlos Baker

    A notable achievement by a estimable scholar.... Filled with shrewd apercus that could have occurred only to a veteran investigator thoroughly steeped in Hemingwayana.

    "The Young Hemingway will entertain and surprise. Not only is it a significant contribution to Hemingway critical biography, but it should rank as one of the best nonfiction books of the year."—Los Angeles Times

    Michael Reynolds recreates the milieu that forged one of America's greatest and most influential writers. He reveals the fraught foundations of Hemingway's persona: his father's self-destructive battle with depression and his mother's fierce independence and spiritualism. He brings Hemingway through World War I, where he was frustrated by being too far away from the action and glory, despite his being wounded and nursed to health by Agnes Von Kurowsky—the older woman with whom he fell terribly in love.

    An enjoyable, well-written and scrupulously researched book that is crucial in understanding the source from which Hemingway's literature sprang and why "Papa" is revered, reviled, and above all, real.

    Rendered in realistic but affectionate strokes, The Young Hemingway gently shaves the hair from Hemingway's chest. The book is both informative and entertaining.
