Hemingway's Boat: Everything he Loved in Life, and Lost, 1934-1961 by Paul Hendrickson is an entertaining and original, almost scholarly look at the years Hemingway lived in Key West, Cuba and finally Idaho after he purchased the boat he named "Pilar", a fishing boat he used to fish for the large marlin and other fish in the Gulf Stream as well as closer to shore. Hemingway also used the boat as a place to entertain and to escape fame and critics. This is a fine book full of new carefully researched archived material. I highly recommend it.
5 stars
