National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist ? National Bestseller ? A brilliantly conceived and illuminating reconsideration of a key period in the life of Ernest Hemingway that will forever change the way he is perceived and understood.

"Hendrickson's two strongest gifts -- that compassion and his research and reporting prowess -- combine to masterly effect." -- Arthur Phillips, The New York Times Book Review

Focusing on the years 1934 to 1961 -- from Hemingway's pinnacle as the reigning monarch of American letters until his suicide -- Paul Hendrickson traces the writer's exultations and despair around the one constant in his life during this time: his beloved boat, Pilar.

Drawing on previously unpublished material, including interviews with Hemingway's sons, Hendrickson shows that for all the writer's boorishness, depression and alcoholism, and despite his choleric anger, he was capable of remarkable generosity -- to struggling writers, to lost souls, to the dying son of a friend. Hemingway's Boat is both stunningly original and deeply gripping, an invaluable contribution to our understanding of this great American writer, published fifty years after his death.
