Michael Reynolds's Hemingway: The 1930s and Hemingway: The Final Years cover the years of HBO's upcoming (Screening in the US in May 2012) film titled Hemingway & Gellhorn, starring Nicole Kidman and Clive Owen.

Reynolds's account is not only authoritative but also colorful and wonderfully written as he charts Hemingway's ascendancy as a writer as well as the psychological turmoil that consumed him. The 1930s describes the years between A Farewell to Arms and For Whom the Bell Tolls, as Hemingway matured as a writer against the backdrop of Cuban revolutions, African game trails, Key West impoverishment, and the Spanish Civil War. We learn about his passionate but ultimately unsuccessful marriage to the beautiful, charismatic war correspondent Martha Gellhorn, which forms the backbone of the HBO film. The Final Years begins with the fanfare surrounding the publication of For Whom the Bell Tolls on the eve of World War II and ends with Hemingway's suicide in 1961. Reynolds describes Hemingway's wartime exploits in Cuba and in Europe, his incredible professional success (including winning the Pulitzer for The Old Man and the Sea and Nobel prizes), the deterioration of his relationships, and his psychological decline in riveting detail.

Industry Reviews

"Sets the standard that all other [Hemingway] biographies will be measured against." -- Boston Globe "Reynolds was noted for his meticulous scholarship and for his efforts to sort the autobiographical fact from the fiction in Hemingway's work. At times, he seemed to enter Hemingway's mind and to know his most intimate thoughts." -- New York Times "passionate and astute... A faithful portrait of one of the most interesting men of the century." -- Los Angeles Times "Excellent." -- James Woods - New York Times Book Review
