Whoever said dead men tell no tales did not account for Ernest Hemingway. Since he was buried in 1961, ten books have been published with his name on them. They include memoirs, letters, sketches and two novels, Islands in the Stream and now The Garden of Eden, a kinky love triangle about a promising young writer and two women on the leading edge of fashion and sexual mechanics. The setting is the coast of southern France during the mid-1920s. The sun is strong, the water clean, the food good and true. Best of all, the hotel Grau...

And so will readers who want to know how it feels to be at the mercy of nature...
Many of the characters populating the life of Alec Guinness you probably never have heard of; some, like Bernard Shaw or Ernest Hemingway, you probably know too much about already. The strengths of this very pleasant book lie in its private perspective on the lives of the men and women we know only as images in films. It is fascinating to know, for example, that Ralph Richardson was obsessed with being mistaken for John Gielgud, and that he once without warning socked Guinness in the jaw. "Who can one hit," he shouted, "if not one's friends...
