Hunting With Hemingway

Rating:
Summary: Sometthing different that is excellent
Review: When her beloved mother died from cancer, she left Hilary with a cassette tape that recorded the musings of her long dead father, Leicester "Baron" Hemingway, Ernest's younger brother. The tape contained stories of the alleged exploits of Baron and Papa as they hunted game mostly in Africa. Hilary, her spouse Jeffrey, and their daughter Bear begin a quest to determine whether the stories are genuine or just tall tales from an excellent storyteller.

Even if a reader is not a Hemingway fan, they will absolutely enjoy HUNTING WITH HEMINGWAY because Baron's tales are entertaining and fun short stories. Whether the stories are true, hyperbole, or totally made-up, the insight into the relationship between Baron and his deep admiration and respect for Papa, who returns his sibling's love, humanizes one of the literary legends. Toss in Hilary's quest in search of her elusive father makes this one of the best anthology collections of the year.
