"Hemingway and the Mechanism of Fame assembles Hemingway's public writings about himself, all framed as documents of support for or criticism of other people and other products. Comprising 103 items - 54 public statements and letters; 20 introductions, forewords, and prefaces; and 29 book blurbs, reviews, and product endorsements - the collection chronicles the means by which Hemingway advanced his own standing through these literary and extraliterary writings." "From his commercial endorsements for the Parker 51 pen and Ballantine Ale to his Nobel Prize acceptance statement and commentary on President Kennedy's inauguration, from his enthusiastic blurbs for sporting books to his statements on Ezra Pound, Hemingway shows himself to be an expert marketing strategist, infusing each piece with thoughtfully crafted autobiography designed to engage his public and promote his image. Arranged in chronological order and spanning more than forty years, the selections in this volume map the development of Hemingway's most complex, studied, criticized, parodied, and celebrated fictional character: Ernest Hemingway himself."--Jacket.… (altro)

Hemingway-iana for the Hemingway-phile.
This is not for the casual Hemingway reader, but if you are enough of a Hemingway-phile that you've read that he wrote introductions to such books as Kiki of Montparnasse's Kiki's Memoirs and Jimmie the Barman's This Must Be the Place this is a convenient collection to find all sorts of those shorter pieces ranging from short 1-sentence book blurbs to full-length articles such as "Who Killed the Vets?"
It is not quite complete though and a short list of what is missing would have been of help. For instance, the Chronology in the book lists an introduction to the 1942 book Men at War, but that introduction itself is missing from this collection. Still, it has most everything else that I've ever heard or read about in Hemingway biographies and much more besides.
So, this is recommended for those who've read everything else and need a fix before the next volume of the Hemingway Library Edition (expanded edition of Green Hills of Africa due in the Summer 2015 or Volume 3 of The Letters of Ernest Hemingway are published. ( )
