For this new, enlarged edition of his 1952 study, Philip Young has for the first time related his extraordinary struggle with Hemingway and has answered as well such of his own critics as the TLS, which asked, "What will happen to Hemingway when he has read this book?" He has also recounted the years leading to the writer's death and extended his analysis to include Hemingway's posthumously published work, A Moveable Feast. When first published, Mr. Young's book was described as "masterly" (London Tribune), "fascinating" (Pittsburgh Press), "wonderful" (Denver Post). In The Partisan Review Saul Bellow wrote: "an excellent book . . . not in the least academic, serious but not 'square.'" Granville Hicks in the Saturday Review wrote "a foreward and an afterword, both of the highest interest."

One could hardly get a better overview of Hemingway's opus as a whole. Young does a great job of tracing important themes and their evolution, as well as registering how Hemingway's personal evolution is reflected in his works. While the analysis is somewhat at a general level, it is specific enough and contains enough keen insights to be a whorthwhile read even for those already quite familiar with Hemingway. This book was long considered a must-read classic on Hemingway, a foundational work of Hemingway criticism; it still is not obsolete at all, but contains great analysis not necessarily found elsewhere.
