...cash crop of American literature. The making and unmaking of the self has absorbed the labors of our most talented writers. They, in turn, have been processed into romantic legend by journalists and biographers, to a point where literary heroes are more read about than read. Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald have been through this mill more than most, and their legends have picked up a number of impurities along...
...novel proceeds on three complex, interlocking levels: the chase after Cacciato on the road to Paris: flashbacks that are among the best writing in the book--some of the best American writing of combat since Hemingway--and finally, Paul Berlin's thoughts one night at the observation tower where he is on guard. For Berlin, the issue comes down to courage...
...SEEMS FUNNY that Hemingway, who is certainly not the best American writer of this century, should have such an effect on so many young authors. Hemingway drones below the line on every page, and his themes, coarsely described as the West Point motto--Duty, Honor, Country--are also O'Brien's.

Highly paid "image girls" like Tiegs, whose faces become associated with several specific products, have come into fashion. Margaux Hemingway and Lauren Hutton have restrictive but enormously profitable contracts.

Another agency owner, the Hungarian who calls himself Zoli, in mono-moniker fashion, sees daily fees escalating...
...travel in the same circles, but Margaux told me to come along," said Mary Hemingway. So Ernest's widow, 69, and her stepgranddaughter the model, 23, turned up at a Valentine dance to help launch an "I Love New York" advertising campaign. "Margaux has always been a cheerful, straightforward girl, long before she got into that fashion business. Or whatever it is. I'm a quieter creature," says Miss Mary, who will start work next month on "two nearly full shopping bags" of unpublished Hemingway manuscripts. As for Margaux, she is getting ready to be a leading lady...
