A Farewell to Macho. Can Papa seduce a boatload of new female readers? (The New York Times, 10/16/2011)
Excerpt: But Hemingway is enjoying a renaissance this year, the 50th anniversary of his suicide by shotgun, so it is time to give that most self-consciously masculine American writer another look.
Papa is popping. There’s a new volume of his lusty letters. He was the funniest character in Woody Allen’s “Midnight in Paris.” A staging of “The Sun Also Rises” is playing off-Broadway. “The Paris Wife,” a novel about Hadley Hemingway by Paula McLain, was a best seller. And the bittersweet biography of Hadley by my friend Gioia Diliberto, which inspired McLain, has just been reissued under the title “Paris Without End: The True Story of Hemingway’s First Wife.”
