Description
Summary:Elder, a journalist and media executive who has written six other books on popular-culture topics ranging from film history to the final words of prisoners on death row, suggests that Hidden Hemingway is not meant to be a comprehensive description of the Oak Park archives. The authors fill this gap with images of magazine and book covers—some first editions, others fairly recent paperbacks—and accompanying text boxes that summarize Hemingway's works and their critical reception. Elder's work in film history and popular culture seems to break through here, as the narrative sparkles with anecdotes from the biographies of actors, directors, and producers.
