Description
After big-time Hemingway fan Jack Phelan falls into a coma following an accident, he somehow finds himself in Key West, Florida, literally rubbing shoulders with his longtime hero.
The legendary author has been sent down by “The Main Man in the clouds” to see if Jack has what it takes to write a book for Him. And though Hemingway knows that his findings may very well determine whether Jack lives or dies, he doesn’t have a clue that the book is going to be about him.
Over the next four days, Jack and Hem not only knock around Key West but they also travel to some more of the legendary author’s old haunts. Together the two meet up with many of Hemingway’s long gone friends and have some rollicking good times. But during their journey they are also forced to go nose to nose with some things that are not at all fun and games. They both face highly-emotional tests of strength as well. But wait. That’s not all. After their time together ends is when things really get out of hand.
Reader Reviews
“I suspected that Hemingway, just like I do, would have had a serious problem living in this maddening twenty-first century world.” This line from this superb book got me thinking. Could I live in Cuba in the 20’s and 30’s with no Internet, no I-Pad, no smart phone, no 42” TV screen, no Spotify, no Sat-Nav, no rear-view screen in the car and none of the modern day accoutrements?Are you kidding? In a heartbeat! I lived on the Algarve for four years. We had no TV, no car, no Internet and certainly
I just finished a very fascinating book called Four Days With Hemingway’s Ghost by Tom Winton (my 50th book so far this year). The description of the book caught my interest since I had grown up reading Hemingway’s books and once I started reading it I was hooked.The story starts out with the main character, Jack Phelan, having an accident, in Palm Beach, FL, that knocks him unconscious. The next thing you know Jack is in front of Ernest Hemingway’s home in Key West, FL and standing next to him
