W: Welcome to our program Book Review. Today we are honored to have invited Paul Hendrickson to tell us a different story about Ernest Hemingway. Mr. Hendrickson is an American author, journalist, and professor. In 2003, he was the recipient of the Chicago Tribune’s Heartland Prize for Sons of Mississippi: A Story of Race and Its Legacy. (1) In 2012, he was honored with a second Heartland Prize for the book about Hemingway.
M: Thank you.
W: After the book about Hemingway was published, Howell Raines made a comment in The Washington Post, saying "While reading Hemingway’s Boat, it occurred to me that serious students of Ernest Hemingway have been like passengers in another vessel, the metaphorical boat invoked by his friend and rival F. Scott Fitzgerald in The Great Gatsby. As readers, we have been beating against a ceaseless current of posthumously published novels, biographies, family memoirs, psychoanalytic studies and polarized critical debates about Hemingway’s oeuvre and character. Now thanks to Paul Hendrickson, we can rest on our oars for a while. "
M: That is a high compliment.
W: If I’m not mistaken, the name of the book is Hemingway’s Boat.
M: Yes, but to be precise, its full name is Hemingway’s Boat: Everything He Loved in Life, and Lost, 1934 -1961.
W: That is to say, it is focused on one period of Hemingway’s life?
M: Yes, and the most important period.
W: In the book you wrote, "Scholarly forests have been clear-cut in the service of explaining his so-called fetishes." What does that mean?
M: Well, what I mean is that there are lots of previous works that shed light on the legendary life of Hemingway, but that does not mean there is nothing new to discover on the subject.
W: Wow, that’s indeed always the case.
M: (2) And what I wanted was making my book to be far less a biography than an interpretation, an evocation, with other lives streaming in.
W: Sounds innovative. (3)I have noticed that, in the bibliography, 76 biographical works about Ernest Hemingway are listed, 9 of them by wives, siblings and children, followed by memoirists, respected biographers and doctoral students.
M: Yes. I did a lot of preparations for the book, and having picked my way through this thick undergrowth of biographical criticism and research, (4)I believe that by focusing on Pilar, the 38-foot cabin cruiser Hemingway purchased in New York in 1934 for $ 7,495, I have found a fresh way of telling a familiar story.
W: Well, that sounds really impressive. But what is so special about this cruiser?
M: Pilar was designed for catching big fish in the Caribbean, and (5) my book mainly describes Hemingway’s life on board. In this way, I can concentrate on fishing, friendship and fatherhood. I lavished pages on cordial relationships that blossomed on the boat with otherwise anonymous characters, for example, an American diplomat in Havana whose wife typed Hemingway’s letters; an aspiring writer who knocked on Hemingway’s door in Key West seeking advice and was co-opted as a crewman.
This is the end of Part One of the interview. Questions 1 to 5 are based on what you have just heard.
1. When was Paul Hendrickson honored with a second Heartland Prize?
2. What did the man want his book, Hemingway’s Boat, to be like?
3. How many biographical works about Hemingway are listed in the bibliography of Hemingway’s Boat?
4. How did the man find a fresh way of telling a familiar story?
5. Why does the man describe Hemingway’s life on board in his book?
