"In June of 1961, A.E. Hotchner visited an old friend in the psychiatric ward of St. Mary's Hospital. It would be the last time they spoke: a few weeks later, Ernest Hemingway was released home, where he took his own life. Their final conversation was also the final installment in a story whose telling Hemingway had spread over nearly a decade. Hemingway divulged the details of the affair that destroyed his first marriage: the truth of his romantic life in Paris and how he lost Hadley, the true part of the literary woman he'd create and the great love he spent the rest of his life seeking. He told of the mischief that made him a legend: of impotence cured in a house of God; of a plane crash in the African bush, from which he stumbled with a bunch of bananas and a bottle of gin in hand; of F. Scott Fitzgerald dispensing romantic advice; of midnight champagne with Josephine Baker; of adventure, human error, and life after lost love. This is Hemingway as few have known him: humble and full of regret. To protect the feelings of Ernest's wife Mary (also a close friend) and to satisfy the terms of his publisher's cautious legal review, Hotch kept the conversations to himself for decades. Now he tells the story as Hemingway told it to him. Hemingway in Love puts you in the room with the master as he remembers the definitive years that set the course for the rest of his life and stayed with him until the end of his days"--… (meer)

This book was a great find at the dollar store. Most times I would avoid any writings about Hemingway by this author because most he is incapable of impartial judgment of the man who he clearly idolized. However, in this slim volume he relates the story of the writer's last year of life and of his true feelings of his fist and second wives.

This book is an excellent companion to Heminway's, A Moveable Feast. ( )

Very interesting, but very sad. It's amazing that he wrote as well as he did, living such a dysfunctional life. ( )

I'm not sure exactly why I continue to read about Ernest Hemingway. He truly was a despicable man. Always searching, never resting. Restlessly jumping from one woman to another. Always, always having another in wait before he left the current one.

This is written by his friend of 13 years, who it seems was enthralled by the man named Hemingway. The book begins at a time in Ernest's life when he was suicidal and severely depressed. Hotchner found him in a psychiatric ward. This would be the final time of conversations and would conclude a saga that started a long time ago. It now became finished as Hemingway committed suicide three weeks after leaving the hospital.

This primarily focuses on Hemingway's first marriage to a young woman named Elizabeth Hadley Richardson. She was shy; he was vivaciously extroverted. Married in 1921, they lived in Paris while Ernest found his footing as a great American author. At that time, there were many other writers living in Paris, and they formed quite an amazing group that included Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald and Ezra Pound.

While in Paris living on the fringes of they rich and famous, they were poor, Ernest thrived in this group of hedonistic authors. His first of three sons, nicknamed Bumby, was born there.

Candidly, Hemingway told Hochfield of his gamble of loving two women at once. Never looking at this from the women's perspective and what they endured, Hemingway lamented about how sad it was that he could not keep both women and that Hadley had enough, and made an ultimatum, giving Hemingway 100 days for them to remain apart. He was told he had to choose after abstinence from both.

Boldly carrying on an affair with friend of Hadley and paramour of Ernest, Pauline Pfeiffer, came from wealth. Wearing fancy clothes and spending frivolously, Ernest was exceedingly drawn to her. Longing for both, poor Ernest portrayed himself as quite a victim of the difficulty of loving two lovely ladies....They had two sons, Patrick and Gregory.

Hadley grew weary of the drama and before the end of the 100 days, told Ernest she wanted a divorce. His marriage to Pauline was not a long-term event.
Ernest, through the end of his life, often stated that he made a huge mistake in betraying Hadley. Claiming Hadley was the love of his life, he selfishly could not understand why she remarried.

In Paris, years later, after two more wives, he ran into Hadley. Happily married, she was not to be swayed or impressed by Ernest's lamentations. ( )

This book came out a few months ago and I've wanted to read it since I first saw a review of it. The inside jacket blurb says this, in part: "In characteristically pragmatic terms, Hemingway divulged to Hotchner the details of the affair that destroyed his first marriage: the truth of his romantic life in Paris and how he lost Hadley, the real part of each literary woman he'd later create and the great love he spent the rest of his life seeking."

Since I plan to read "The Paris Wife" soon, and having just finished "A Moveable Feast," the time now seems perfect to read this.

Half a century ago, the author, now 94 wrote one of the definitive books on Hemingway, Papa Hemingway: A Memoir. Hotchner was a close personal friend of Hemingway, and he gives us here some material that the legal minds of the publisher cut from Papa - I guess you can dish on the dead but not the possibly living. There is also, per the author, material he held back out of kindness for Hemingway's 4th wife Mary, who was a close friend to him like Hem. He also includes a number of photos he took, and archival ones as appropriate, but the real story here is a story Hemingway himself could not put to paper so he told his friend, who has held the story until now.

The reveals were a result of a near death experience in 1954 when Hemingway nearly died in a plane crash. I do have some sympathy for Hemingway, but the guy was a total jerk falling for a femme fatale and expecting his wife Hadley to accept it. Hemingway does not present a convincing argument that he couldn't cut Pauline the huntress loose. Only Hemingway would know why not and perhaps even he would not know. We are all our own worst enemy at times.

Sad story. The plane crash however seems to have been pretty much the beginning of the end for Hemingway, and the stuff in this book (and elsewhere) about his rapid descent into paranoia in the last year of life is not nice. The author mentions something about why this may have been (the FBI and Hoover really were tapping his phones and had planted agents around him in all probability.) There's a lot of other stuff in here also. I think this book is mostly for Hemingway obsessives, although I 'enjoyed' it well enough.

ETA: I do think it an excellent companion to "A Moveable Feast" and would recommend it to anyone who liked that novel. There is quite a bit of background stuff in here to flesh out Hemingway's original sketches. On reflection after a few days I think my comment about Hemingway obsessives is also a bit wrong. This is a good book for those interested in Hemingway and his works and life. It is not a good entry point - a familiarity with some of Hemingway's works and life is pretty much a requirement. written April 10, 2016 ( )

A. E. Hotchner wrote a fairly fawning biography of Ernest Hemingway shortly after the author committed suicide in 1961. However, apparently he left out (or highly edited) Hemingway's thoughts on the break-up of his first marriage to Hadley Richardson and his subsequent marriage to Pauline Pfeiffer. So last year, at the age of 95, Hotchner gathered up all his notes and put together this slim volume ostensibly to set the record straight now that all the parties who could be offended are conveniently dead.

Much of Hemingway's regret over the collapse of his first marriage has been discussed in his posthumously published memoir of his life in Paris, A Movable Feast, so there is really very little new ground here to tread. Mostly this is Hemingway, crippled by writer's block and depression,lamenting on the errors in his life and what might have been. I'm not at all sure this book was necessary, but maybe Hotchner needed the money. ( )

"Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) biographer and longtime friend Hotchner (Papa Hemingway) recounts numerous conversations and experiences he had with arguably America's greatest author from 1948 to 1961. The topics tread ground familiar to any Hemingway reader - bullfights, fishing, sports, war, writing, etc. - but there is a special insider's focus on his romantic relationships. ...An important book for any avid Hemingway reader or historian. ...Recommended to readers of Hemingway, American literature, and biography."
