    Fifty years after his death by suicide, Ernest Hemingway endures as a major figure in American letters and a fascinating, complex subject for biographers. In Hemingway's Boat, Paul Hendrickson has ingeniously adapted the conventions of literary biography to tell the story of Hemingway's life in a new way, through the story of his beloved fishing boat, Pilar. Hear the acclaimed author of Sons of Mississippi, winner of the 2003 National Book Critics Circle Award, as he talks about one of the most eagerly anticipated books of the fall publishing season.
