Hemingway's Chair

Hemingway's Chair

by Michael Palin

  • LITERATURE
  • 1999
  • PAPER
  • 288 PAGES

The celebration of Hemingway has even spread to a first novel "Hemingway's Chair" by Monty Python alum and travel writer, Michael Palin. Its subject is one Martin Sproale, a disgruntled East Anglican postal worker whose great passion is manifest in collecting Hemingway memorabilia, a shrine to the author in his bedroom -- and the taking up of the author's favorite pastime: drinking.  (GBR111, $17.99)
