"Recollections of the rollicking experiences Hemingway and his friend Jed Kiley shared in Paris, New York, Hollywood, Key West, Bimini, and Cuba." - from the rear outer jacket. " "How did you like the book?" Hemingways siad. "I couldn't read the thing," I said. "Wait a minute .Do you move your lips when you read?" he said. "No," I said. "That's it. I write for people who move their lips when they read." This exchange took place in Paris in 1927 between Ernest Hemingway, a struggling young author, and Jed Kiley, the owner of a successful night club and an editor of The Boulevardier, a satiric magazine for the English-speaking colony. Kiley, who befriended and published F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sinclair Lewis and Louis Bromfield, became Hemingway's friend as well and introduced one of his first stories in The Boulevardier. The friendship lasted the rest of their lives. In Paris, New York, Hollywood and the Caribbean they shared many experiences: they drank together, fought the sea and men together, and argued about writing, money, and women. Hemingway: An Old Frield Remembers is a nostalgic reminiscence of those exciting times and an irreverent tribute to the controversial author. It is irreverent, Kiley insists, because "Papa was the most irreverent person I ever knew, both in his writings and in his conversation." Kiley's work sheds new light on the period portrayed recently by Hemingway himself in A Moveable Feast and by Morley Callaghan in That Summer in Paris. Here are the famous people associated with Hemingway as well as the characters and incidents he fictionalized in his novels. In Kiley's night club we meet the real "Lady Brett" as she helps Hemingway to celebrate the publication of The Sun Also Rises. We hear Fitzgerald tell of his attempt to kill Hemingway in a fit of literary jealousy. We follow Papa to the West Indies where he delights in teaching the islanders to box and in destroying sharks with a Tommy gun. Hemingway: An Old Friend Remembers contains previously unreported incidents in the great writer's turbulent life and revealing photographs of each phase of that life. This is a book for everyone, Hemingway aficionando or not. As one who knew both Hemingway and Kiley, Bob Considine can say with authority, "Hemingway might not have liked it, but literary historians a century from now will still be borrowing biographic gems from Jed Kiley's book Hemingway." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
