In the fourteen years that A. E. Hotchner traveled with Ernest Hemingway, he collected a lifetime's worth of Hemingway's experiences, anecdotes, and observations on the backs of matchbooks, napkins, and slips of paper. Speaking on everything from war to women to writing, Hemingway's words are at turns funny and poignant, revealing a rich portrait of the American literary giant and the world he took by storm.

Complete with black-and-white photographs that cover nearly two decades of Hemingway's life, The Good Life According to Hemingway is an exuberant celebration of his remarkable genius and the chaotic adventure of his life.

A. E. Hotchner is the award-winning author of numerous books, including Papa Hemingway, Sophia Loren, Doris Day, and Blown Away: The Rolling Stones and the Death of the Sixties. He is also the longtime business partner with actor Paul Newman in Newman's Own, the hugely successful food empire that donates all of its profits to charities, including Hole in the Wall Camps worldwide, dedicated to supporting children with life-threatening illnessess.
