Norman ConquestHemingway
While at the book store last weekend I came upon Hemingway's 'last' book,"Under Kilimanjaro".I generally keep 3-4 books going at the same time,but I want to give this one my undivided attention.Judging from my interpretation of the editorial foreward,this appears to be the complete version of what his son,Patrick,condensed into "True at First Light".Anyone else read this one yet?

JudgeSharpeIt seems that every few years a new "last" book by Hemingway comes out. I remember "Islands in the Stream", then another one that had "Garden" in the title (my old mind will not click on the full name) and now this one. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy all of them, but how many more are there out there?

Norman ConquestI truly liked Islands in the Stream.I never read Garden of Eden.I am looking forward to Under Kilimanjero,if for no other reason that it is the unabridged version with Hemingways own editing,footnotes,etc.If the editors in the foreward are to be believed,this was the last manuscript left in Cuba.What he referred to as Mary's insurance policy.
