A sensational bestseller when it appeared in 1986, The Garden of Eden is the last uncompleted novel of Ernest Hemingway, which he worked on intermittently from 1946 until his death in 1961.

    Approximately half of the novel is simply great. It reworks the classical Hemingway hero, showing him under a very different light, and even preparing for the sexual revolution of the 1960s. But many parts are...well, it's a book by a very depressed writer, soon to shoot himself, particularly concerned about the fact that he felt he couldn't finish novels anymore, what did you expect?

  • THE Heming-Way?

    This is quite a departure from Hemingway's other novel. It is an interesting story that still leaves traces from the Hemingway's style for depicting a human mind's evolution over the story line.
