Ernest Hemingway is most often associated with Spain, Cuba, & Florida, but Italy was equally important in his life & work. This book, the first on the subject, explores Hemingway s visits throughout his life to such places as Sicily, Genoa, Rapallo, Cortina, & Venice. Richard Owen describes how Hemingway first visited Italy during World War I, an experience that set the scene for A Farewell to Arms. The writer then returned after World War II, where he would find inspiration for Across the River & into the Trees. When Men without Women was published, some reviewers declared Hemingway to be at heart a reporter preoccupied with bullfighters, soldiers, prostitutes, & hard drinkers, but their claims failed to note that he also wrote sensitively & passionately about love & loss against an Italian backdrop. Owen highlights the significance of Italy in the writer s life. On the night he shot himself in July 1961, for example, Hemingway sang a song he had once learned in Cortina d Ampezzo. Hemingway returned to Italy again & again, & the places he visited or used as inspiration for his work are many. At the same time, the inspiration goes both ways: Owen describes how the fifteenth century villa Ca Erizzo at Bassano del Grappa, where the American Red Cross ambulances were stationed, is now a museum devoted to the writer & World War I. Showing how the Italian landscape, from the Venetian lagoon to the Dolomites & beyond, deeply affected one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century, Hemingway in Italy demonstrates that this country belongs alongside Spain as a key influence on his writing & why the Italian themselves took Hemingway & his writing to heart. ” ...

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 more than a decade. In characteristically pragmatic terms, Hemingway revealed to Hotchner the details of the affair that destroyed his first marriage: the truth of his romantic life in Paris & how he lost Hadley, the true part of each literary woman he`d later create & 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 Hemingway stumbled with a bunch of bananas & a bottle of gin in hand; of F. Scott Fitzgerald dispensing romantic advice & champagne in the buff with Josephine Baker; of adventure, human error, & life after lost love. This is Hemingway as you`ve never known him--humble, thoughtful, & full of regret. To protect the feelings of Ernest`s wife--Mary, also a close friend--Hotch held back, keeping the conversations to himself for decades. Now, for the first time, he tells the whole story, mostly in Hemingway`s own words. Hemingway in Love is the intimate & repentantly candid chapter missing from the definitive biography of a literary giant. ...
