Ernesto: The Untold Story of Hemingway in Revolutionary Cuba

A radically new understanding of Hemingway’s life in Cuba, from the first North American scholar permitted to study in residence there.

This is the Hemingway story that has never been told- the full story of Papa as an expatriate in Cuba, an ingenuous American opportunist whose natural openness and curiosity connected with the distinctive warmth of the Cuban character. In Cuba he formed key artistic relationships-including a longstanding affair with a previously undiscovered Cuban lover, Leopoldina Roderiguez-and became the Nobel Prize-winning literary legend we know today.
