Letters of Ernest Hemingway: Volume 3, 1926–1929
«'Reading Hemingway's letters is to go back in time by stepping into the fascinating world of a revolutionary wordsmith; a voyage through decades to the very moments when literature was taking a sudden bend in the road; a shift that was being steered by the father of modern literature. Indeed, the value of these letters cannot be overstated.' Nick Mafi, Esquire»

«'Reading Hemingway's letters is to go back in time by stepping into the fascinating world of a revolutionary wordsmith; a voyage through decades to the very moments when literature was taking a sudden bend in the road; a shift that was being steered by the father of modern literature. Indeed, the value of these letters cannot be overstated.' Nick Mafi, Esquire»
«'Scholars will be deeply absorbed; general readers will find enjoyment and enlightenment.' Steve Paul, Booklist»
«'Away from the chisel work of his early fiction … the letters show Hemingway at play in figurative language, humour, meandering sentences and desultory subjects.' Naomi Wood, Literary Review»
«'…meticulously edited.' Nicolaus Mills, The Daily Beast»
«'Volume Three's letters are an invaluable record of Hemingway as a professional author. There is less on his aesthetic than in earlier correspondence - Hemingway is more confident now in his art. But his writing methods are covered in detail.' James McNamara, Australian Book Review»
«'… an astonishing scholarly achievement.' Phillip Lopate, The Times Literary Supplement»
«'Scholars of Hemingway will no doubt value the completeness of the work. This volume is painstakingly yet unobtrusively annotated.' Byron Landry, The Hopkins Review»
«'What's most enjoyable is how lacking in self-consciousness Papa could be; he didn't yet realise people would be keeping his bits of paper. Or he simply didn't care, so one sees the brilliance and offensiveness all at once.' The Tablet»
«'The quality of the ancillary details on each page is (in my experience) unmatched by other letters- compilations of famous writers - a testament to the passion, skill, and dedication of the editorial team. The collection is a great achievement and a superb resource for scholars of Hemingway's work and American literatures more generally.' The Hemingway Review»
