The only place in the United States that Hemingway could really call home after he started writing was the tropical island of Key West. During his decade here in the 1930s, he acquired his famed macho persona as Papa, the biggest Big Daddy of them all. This vivid portrait of Ernest Hemingway's Key West reveals both Hemingway, the writer, and Hemingway, the macho, hard-drinking sportsman. His Key West years turned out to be his most productive: he finished A Farewell to Arms, started For Whom the Bell Tolls, and wrote several other books, including Green Hills of Africa, Death in the Afternoon, and To Have and Have Not. He also turned out some of his best short stories. There was plenty of time left over for eating, drinking, fighting, fishing, chasing women, and hanging out with his circle of friends (known as "the Mob"). Hemingway spent the last years of his life in Cuba, and it was here he overcame several demons—accidents, failing health, depression—to write The Old Man and the Sea, for which he won both a Pulitzer and a Nobel Prize in Literature.Filled with photos (some of which were not available in the first edition), this book also includes a two-hour walking tour of Key West and a tour of Hemingway's favorite Cuban haunts. This edition also includes a record of the author's exploits in Bimini and Cuba. Accompany Hemingway on fishing expeditions in the Gulf Stream and to Cuba and Bimini aboard his custom-built boat, Pilar. A treat for Hemingway fans!

Sadly, this is very repetitious. Admittedly, there is an interesting overview not only of Ernest Hemingway but of Key West itself along with how it realized that using Hemingway's notority would help the economy via tourism. Apparently, "Papa" was highly competitive with other writers so his most trusted and comfortable of friends - especially in Key West - were his hunting, fishing, and drinking buddies.HEmingway's final days in Key West - before his move to Cuba - were tense due to many of the locals allied with his soon-to-be ex-wife rather than Ernest. Then there is descriptions of his home in Cuba as well as his activities during World War II as well as the FBI's suspicions that he was a Communist. And his eventual death by suicide in Idaho.There is several sections about the activities that occur today in Key West from the museums and the festivals with the hats and shirts and look-alike contests. The walking tour of Key West is discussed along with a map with notes on the highlights and importance. I.E. 'This is where such-and-such was located. Let's review what I told you earlier.' The writer does the same with the Hemingway Trail in Cuba only without the map and just as repetitious.There's some talk about the his passion for fishing as well as several black and white pictures that are grainy when enlarged from an ebook version. And it finishes up with the author's own attempt at the look-alike contest and then other books available from the same publisher regarding similar subjects. Would have liked to hear more about the six-toed cats but they are only mentioned in regards to a large trough he carried home for his cats use.Overall disappointing but did provide some very general overview of the personality of Ernest Hemingway. Did I say it was repetitious? *grin*
