HEMINGWAY'S PARIS: OUR PARIS? Wins Accolades from Hemingway Family, Friends

April 17, 2011 - PRLog -- H.R. Stoneback's much-praised HEMINGWAY'S PARIS: OUR PARIS? has not only impressed critics, but also Hemingway's closest family and friends, including Valerie Hemingway and the eminent writer A.E. Hotchner, both of whom have greeted the book with ringing endorsements.

"H.R. Stoneback knows his Hemingway and his Paris," writes Valerie Hemingway, author of RUNNING WITH THE BULLS: MY YEARS WITH THE HEMINGWAYS. "I had the incomparable experience of visiting Paris twice while working for Ernest Hemingway in 1959. I viewed the city at the side of the writer while he added the finishing touches to A Moveable Feast. Professor Stoneback's evocation of Hemingway's Paris of the 1920s is as close as I have come since to reliving those Paris days in the company of Ernest Hemingway. Reading this book will be a treat for all who love Hemingway and Paris, and a pleasant surprise for all readers."

Hotchner – playwright, novelist, memoirist, close Hemingway friend, and author of the classic PAPA HEMINGWAY – comments: "Professor Stoneback's lyrical prose takes the reader inside the soul of Hemingway's Paris, penetrating the surface of guide-books to reveal tantalizing secrets."


ABOUT THE BOOK:
H.R. Stoneback's 9,000-word prose-poem constitutes a masterpiece of both appreciation and analysis by a scholar whose knowledge and love of Paris is as deep, profound and genuine as his knowledge and love of Hemingway.
