A meditation on literary authenticity

Someone has found Hemingway's lost works, or has he? This book delves into questions of literary worth, the maze of truth and falsehood, and family loyalty with the hands of a master. Highly recommended. Small disclaimer; I am the author's son.The previous reviewer exudes the kind of bitter fumes usually detected around unhappy former junior high school English teachers. Also, he's factually incorrect; My father was busy preparing for the Second World War in 1942 and did not have time for selling stories to Esquire. That was all post-war.
