A propos de l'auteur

He afficher plus was drafted in 1944 and shipped to Europe during World War II. He plotted to assassinate Hermann Göring at the Nuremberg war crimes trials. He received a bachelor's degree in English from U.C.L.A. He worked briefly for Columbia Pictures, where he made his sole screen appearance in 1951 as a savage in the B movie Bride of the Gorilla. Since he was a card-carrying Communist at the time, he was blacklisted briefly for mimeographing subversive leaflets. He later joined the Sam Jaffe Agency, where he represented Barbara Stanwyck and Humphrey Bogart as a Hollywood agent. After traveling to Paris, he stayed in London for 30 years.

Hemingway Lives! (Why Reading Ernest Hemingway… par Clancy Sigal

An excellent Hemingway primer. Perhaps the last hagiography of the man that will ever be written by a generation that was impacted by his work. Hemingway's 'manly' pursuits can appear comical and pathetic to a non-sympathetic reader of later eras - Sigal undertakes the job 'translating' Hemingway to the present day and largely succeeds.
