Eddie’s Reviews > Hemingway: A Life Without Consequences > Status Update

It's hard to imagine a 604 page (principal text) book feeling rushed, but it did, if only in the end. Mellow was a pointillist for the first half of Papa's career, but gradually fell into using large brush strokes, especially for the last decade of Hemingway's life. In a way, I thank Mellow for that. Hem's mental decline was difficult enough to manage without having to read every sordid, shameful detail. Commendable.
