About this product

Product Information

A collection of reflections on writing and the nature of the writer from one the greatest American writers of the 20th century. Throughout Hemingway's career as a writer, he maintained that it was bad luck to talk about writing--that it takes off "whatever butterflies have on their wings and the arrangement of hawk's feathers if you show it or talk about it." Despite this belief, by the end of his life he had done just what he intended not to do. In his novels and stories, in letters to editors, friends, fellow artists, and critics, in interviews and in commissioned articles on the subject, Hemingway wrote often about writing. And he wrote as well and as incisively about the subject as any writer who ever lived... This book contains Hemingway's reflections on the nature of the writer and on elements of the writer's life, including specific and helpful advice to writers on the craft of writing, work habits, and discipline. The Hemingway personality comes through in general wisdom, wit, humor, and insight, and in his insistence on the integrity of the writer and of the profession itself. --From the Preface by Larry W. Phillips

    Many books exist about Hemingway's methods and procedures for writing . . . but this one is a collection of short comments . . . written over the years to a large number of recipients. It is clear, concise, and easy to read . . . Well worth the purchase price.

    A bible

    “Ernest Hemingway On Writing”, was a great book to read on Ernest Hemingway’s thoughts on writing from different perspectives. After reading the book, you’ll feel a bit of shame for having read it but it’ll give you new insightful information on the art of writing.

    for aspiring writers AND/OR discriminating readers

    great collection of comments about what it means to be a writer -- makes it clear how good or great writing can look so easy - and be so difficult. Excellent advice for aspiring writers from a man who influenced and changed American literature. Terrific gift to give to someone who wants to be a writer......

    Ernest Hemingway On Writing

    This book maybe smaller than some, but the writer Larry W. Phillips makes very good use of the space. As a reader of Hemingway, I found the insight into the man through his words very interesting. As a writer, I found some of his words inspiring and others haunting.
