Drawing from the the most respected Hemingway scholarship by leading researchers and writers, Nicole Valaire offers here an incisive, focused consideration of Hemingway's meanings and methods, thus presenting a vivid and valuable "crash-course" on, and introduction to, the most important and influential American writer of the 20th century.

Beautifully illustrated, The Little Book of Hemingway includes a complete biographical sketch of the author, summaries of the plots and themes of each of his novels (as well as his major works of nonfiction), consideration of his most important short stories, a history of the fluctuating tides in Hemingway criticism, a detailed filmography, and an extensive bibliography of works by and about Hemingway.

The Little Book of Hemingway represents the ideal introduction to an author who changed the language of storytelling forever: Hemingway the man, writer and artist.
