"Thinking of Ernest Hemingway often brings to mind his travels around the world, documenting
war and engaging in thrilling adventures. However, fully understanding this outsized
international author means returning to his place of birth. Hidden Hemingway presents
highlights from the extraordinary collections in his hometown of Oak Park. Thoroughly
researched, and illustrated with more than 300 color images, this impressive volume
includes never-before-published photos; letters between Hemingway and Agnes Von Kurowsky,
his World War I love; bullfighting memorabilia; high school assignments; adolescent
diaries; Hemingway's earliest published work, such as the "Class Prophecy" that appeared
in his high school yearbook; and even a dental X-ray. Hidden Hemingway also includes
one of the final letters Hemingway wrote, as he was undergoing electroshock treatment
at the Mayo Clinic. These documents, photographs, and ephemera trace the trajectory
of the life of an American literary legend. The items showcased in Hidden Hemingway
are more than stage dressing for a literary life, more than marginalia. They provide
definition - and, in some cases, documentation - of Hemingway's ambition, heartbreak,
literary triumphs and trials, and joys and tragedies. It's Hemingway's stature as
a Pulitzer Prize and Nobel Prize winning author that draws so many biographers and
historians to his work. It is also the wealth of material he left behind that makes
him such a compelling, engaging, and often polarizing figure. For Hemingway, the material
he saved was both autobiography and research. He gathered data and details that made
the life lived in his books more authentic. The authors of Hidden Hemingway have done
the same, telling a life story through items that illuminate Hemingway's legacy. Some
of the material contradicts the public image that Hemingway built for himself, and
some supports his larger-than-life myth. In all, Hidden Hemingway celebrates the Ernest
Hemingway archives and Oak Park's most famous author"--Publisher's website
