Papa: A Personal Memoir

This book was very used, the entire book was yellow and had a bad smell. I couldn't read it, to strong of an odor. Paid almost $8.00 for this pocket book now I'm throwing it away. Re-sale shops would not want it.

While researching Hemingway's life, I was happy to discover this brief biography of one of the most intriguing and talented American writers. Gregory "Gig" Hemingway stumbled from complete admiration for his father, to fear, to frustration. This is the best short biography of Hemingway I have read from someone who knew him well, better than all scholars, professors, and Hemingway fans. It is not the most extensive study, but if you're looking for a brief and powerful biography, this is the best choice.

Greg had a hard life, being the youngest son of a macho legend. Especially considering Greg was Transgendered and was better known as "Gloria" in her later years. In fact, she died in the women's section of the Miami-Dade County Jail on October 4, 2001. An earlier reviewer complains that she wasn't a writer. Quite correct, she was a doctor with a story to tell. A story about her relationship with her famous dad...a story no one else could tell...and she told it as well as she could. Sleep well, Gloria! Her daughter Lorian (on the other hand) IS an author Walk on Water: A Memoir A World Turned Over : A Killer Tornado and the Lives It Changed Forever and Walking into the River
