From the author of The Sense of an Ending, and one of Britain's greatest writers, a twist on the workshop story and defense of Papa Hemingway, with art, love, ambition mixed in.
"Homage to Heminway" is modeled after the oft-overlooked Ernest Hemingway story "Homage to Switzerland," a formally experimental work composed of three related vignettes. Here, Barnes composes three portraits of the modern writing life, a rhapsodic, witty and hopeful account of the writer's search for what is good and what is true. From Barnes's collection of miscellaneous prose, Through the Window.
