About this title

Synopsis

Chronicles a legendary career and a momentous era in literary history

In 1924 F. Scott Fitzgerald told his editor Maxwell Perkins about a young American expatriate in Paris, an unknown writer with a "brilliant future." When Perkins wrote to Ernest Hemingway several months later, he began a correspondence spanning more than two decades and charting the career of the most influential American author of this century. The letters collected here are the record of a remarkable professional alliance―an enduring friendship between editor and author―and of Hemingway's development as a writer.
