Hemingway: The Grace and the Pressure

Born more than a hundred years ago, Hemingway's reputation shows no sign of abating, despite those revisionist critics who accuse him of having a one-dimensional approach to life. A writer for the ages, his legacy includes at least three classic novels and a distinctive narrative style which, in his own words, 'doesn't go bad afterwards'. HEMINGWAY: THE GRACE AND THE PRESSURE reveals the public and the private man in the tangled skein that was his life. We have the bragging, brawling Hemingway, the self-indulgent poseur with his love of bullfighting, boxing and hunting, but also the man who hid behind these many masks. A man who, in the end, destroyed himself under the weight of his own impossible expectations.
