Ernest Hemingway

Everyone has heard of Ernest Hemingway, but not everyone knows the man behind the classic novels. Tanya Eby offers a wonderful narration of this in-depth biography of the literary giant. While a female voice reading a biography of a male figure may cause some dissonance to the listener, it does have the feel of sitting with a loving daughter who is recollecting her many fond memories while not shying away from the controversial aspects of the man's life. At various points, one can hear a twinkle in her eyes or sadness in her voice. Hemingway comes to life for a new generation in an epic biography that makes for an excellent listening experience.
