“The current pop culture obsession with all things Ernest Hemingway.”
That’s how USA Today describes the whirlwind success of Paula McClain’s The Paris Wife, which has sold more than half a million copies, gone through 25 printings and ridden the newspaper’s bestseller list for 31 weeks.
“Paula’s skillful evocation of Hemingway as a budding author, and of his relationship with his first wife Hadley, clearly struck a chord,” Lisa Barnes of Ballantine told the paper.
But The Paris Wife hasn’t been alone in feeding what USA Today calls “Hemingway fascination.” Add to the list Paul Hendrickson’s new Hemingway’s Boat, the recently-published first volume of The Letters of Ernest Hemingway, the satirical The Heming Way and articles in Town & Country, Vanity Fair and Salon, Woody Allen’s popular Midnight in Paris and the forthcoming HBO film Hemingway and Gellhorn starring Clive Owen and Nicole Kidman.
Add to this growing list the reissue of the 1992 book Hadley: A Life of Hadley Richardson Hemingway by Gioia Diliberto, reissued with the new title Paris Without End: The True Story of Hemingway’s First Wife.
Not to mention, ahem, this fine project, Papa’s Planet.
