BOSTON (AP) – A new documentary on Ernest Hemingway – powered by vast but little-known archives kept at the John F Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston – is shedding new light on the acclaimed novelist.
Hemingway, by longtime collaborators Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, premiering on
PBS on three consecutive nights from yesterday, takes a more nuanced look at the author and his longstanding reputation as an adventurer, outdoorsman and bullfight-loving misogynist who struggled with internal turmoil that eventually led to his death by suicide at age 61.
The truth about the man many consider America’s greatest 20
th-century novelist – whose concise writing style made him an outsized celebrity who became a symbol of unrepentant American masculinity – is much more complex, Novick said.
