Book descriptionI love this anthology. I wasnt going to read it again, one or two, but I couldnt stop. Hemingways journalism informed many of his fictional stories and they are damned good pieces of writing. I read it with a mixture of admiration and jealousy. The second has stayed in my mind from the first reading, its about free things and Hemingway gets a free shave from the beginners at the barbers academy in Toronto. Then he gets a tooth pulled at the dentistry school, which is something I did when I was a young bloke in Adelaide. Worst pair of hands ever in my mouth. The book recounts various journeys around Europe in the 20s. Hemingway fishes, flies and files his way around Spain, Germany and France in the first part of the book. He introduces Cuba of the 1930s in part two. His writing is like a visual almanac with weights, distances, records and all the necessary detail readers vacuum up subconsciously. When Hemingway writes about game fishing and bull fighting the details of the fight and participants (both human and animal) are all important. He counts enough to know that the biggest fish, at 343 pounds, 156 kilograms, caught in a two-month fishing trip in Cuba in 1933 jumped out of the water 44 times before it was brought in to the gaff. You either count that sort of thing very carefully, like a savant, or make an educated guess, like most hacks, and pass it off as an accurate observation. With Hemingway youd like to think It probably wasnt the latter. His political observation is engaging, more political sketch than commentary in the early years, biting later on. Writing for the Toronto Star about the 1922 Genoa conference in Italy, he prepares his readers with a gritty piece about the behaviour of the fascists and communists in Italy. Fifteen-hundred carabiniere from outside the region have been shipped in to keep the peace with orders to shoot. He paints a picture of constant skirmishing where the fascists have the upper hand. Here, we already see his brilliance for the observational portrait. Later on in the book he talks about observation and the understanding of individuals being the underpinnings of his writing. His passing observation of the Canadian representative, Sir Charles Blair Gordon tells you all you need to know in nine words: blonde, ruddy-faced and a little ill at ease. A piece called Russian Girls at Genoa teases the reader waiting for the mention of the girls, the best looking girls in the conference hall arrive in the second last paragraph. Nothing important was discussed on the opening day. This is wonderful reportage, the day-to-day happenings having been filed separately. While Id like to see Hemingways straight news reports this is stuff that historians use as crayons to colour their tomes. His writing is about incredibly accurate description of things and people, their feelings, emotions and the physical manifestations that describe them. There is an excellent profile of the first Soviet Foreign Minister Tchitcherin at a subsequent conference in Lausanne, he has plump, cold hands that lie in yours like a dead mans. Hemingway ridicules Tchitcherin for having a portrait of himself taken in a military officers uniform after revealing the Soviet diplomat had been made to wear dresses by his mother until he was 12. There is awareness of his closet homosexuality if you care to pick it up, coupled with admiration of his intellect and tenacity. He is all brain and he simply feeds his body because it is a supporting part of his brain. The over-riding conclusion is of an emotionally fragile but intellectually towering advocate fighting single-mindedly for an impossible outcome. A curiously out-of-place story about a death knock in which he and another reporter have to approach the surviving victims of a tsunami in Japan has always stuck in my mind for one quote. Hemingway is trying to convince a mother to speak to them. The mother is sceptical and doesnt want their names used, saying all newspaper reporters are liars. Theyll promise it and then theyll use them (their names) anyway, she says. Hemingway responds: Mrs. So and So, the president of the United States tells reporters things in confidence which if known would cost him his job. .... Im talking about newspaper reporters, not cheap news tipsters. That quote stuck in my mind from my first reading 20 years ago. The real professional honour for a journalist is in getting the story. While Hemingway sticks to his word and doesnt name the woman in his piece he does get the story. Like all his journalism there are paragraphs that could (Im sure some did) leap onto the pages of a novel. The description of the daughter should if it didnt already. She went upstairs, quick and lithe, wearing a Japanese kimono. It ought to have some other name. Kimono has a messy, early morning sound. There was nothing kimonoey about this kimono. The colours were vivid and the stuff had body to it, and it was cut. It looked almost as though it might be worn with two swords in the belt. To read in one anthology a lifetime of journalism you see the mans character change over time. He starts out a great stylist, and ends up, like most of us, becoming a curmudgeon. The drive to write really well is there all the time but it presents itself more in later years. Arguably his greatest book, the one he was awarded the Pulitzer for, and in a large part gave him a Nobel Prize, The Old Man and the Sea, was written in 1951, when the author was in his fifties. You see the origins of The Old Man and the Sea in a letter for Esquire in April, 1936, fifteen years earlier. Which reads like a synopsis: An old man fishing alone in a skiff out of Cabanas hooked a great marlin that, on the heavy sash cord handling, pulled the skiff far out to sea. Two days later the old man was picked up by fishermen sixty miles to the eastward, the head and forward part of the marlin lashed alongside. What was left of the fish, less than half, weighed 800 pounds. The old man had stayed with him a day, a night, a day and another night while the fish swam deep and pulled the boat. When he had come up the old man had pulled the boat up on him and harpooned him. Lashed alongside the sharks had hit him and the old man had fought them out alone in the Gulf Stream in a skiff, clubbing them, stabbing at them, lunging at them with an oar until he was exhausted and the sharks had eaten all that they could hold. He was crying in the boat when the fishermen picked him up, half crazy from his loss and the sharks were still circling the boat. We hit the Spanish Civil War and the now world-famous author, Hemingway is a bit more circumspect in his writing, the possibility of death is more apparent but at a distance, which is surprising because it was probably his most dangerous assignment. His piece about World War II London Fights the Robots is considered one of the finest pieces of war writing but I like his writing about running around with the French resistance fighters - for which he was charged with breaching the Geneva Conventions but eventually acquitted. The last part is a series of pieces from Africa including one describing the two air crashes which led to a number of premature obituaries. His character is strongly set in these pieces and you see him playing down the injuries that plagued him for the rest of his life. The final piece about the Navy NCOs who came to visit him once in Cuba is quite evocative, far from the popular discussion about Hemingway not able to live with the rigours of age and eventually committing suicide, I think it reveals a man trying to come to terms with his position in American life at the end of his career. A man who can sit with the ranks or with Admirals, a man who will give boons, is courteous and self aware. This is a fine anthology and Id recommend it to any writer or journalist, or those aspiring to be.
