Portrait of Hemingway
Penguin Main Series #1939, 1st Edition, published 1962.
On May 13, 1950, Lillian Ross's first portrait of Ernest Hemingway was published in The New Yorker. It was an account of two days Hemingway spent in New York in 1949 on his way from Havana to Europe. This candid and affectionate profile was tremendously controversial at the time, to the great surprise of its author. Booklist said, "The piece immediately conveys to the reader the kind of man Hemingway was--hard-hitting, warm, and exuberantly alive." It remains the classic eyewitness account of the legendary writer.
Condition grading: Good. Small corner crease to top left of rear cover. Very minor wear to spine ends. Light crease to centre left edge of rear cover. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
