Almost Hemingway relates the life of Negley Farson, adventurer, iconoclast, best-selling writer, foreign correspondent, and raging alcoholic who died in oblivion. Born only a few years before Hemingway, Farson had a life trajectory that paralleled and intersected Hemingwayâs in ways that compelled writers to compare them. Unlike Hemingway, however, Farson has been forgotten.
What The Reviewers Say
Bowman and Santos [are] both former journalists who know how to tell a story.
Adventurer and foreign correspondent Negley Farson (1890–1960) remains something of a mystery in the bustling debut biography.
A brisk tale of an eventful life..
