Unpublished letters reveal an unknown love story, the torment of Hemingway’s young muse and the resuscitation of the aging writer’s career.
Andrea di Robilant, acclaimed author of A Venetian Affair, now gives us the remarkable story of Ernest Hemingway’s love affair with both the city of Venice and the muse he found there—a vivacious eighteen-year-old who inspired the man thirty years her senior to complete his great final work. The author attributes his research experience as a journalist to his use of letters in his writings. “You know them closely, you understand what they know. Perhaps, more importantly”, he continues, “You accept them. You don’t judge them as immoral or obnoxious.” The author Di Robilant will preside at the unveiling of the book on June 6th at Rizzoli, 1133 Broadway, New York. Andrea will also be discussing his book in Washington DC at a private venue on June 5th.
