The letters, many previously unpublished, of Volume 3 (1926â 1929) explore Hemingway's move into the American mainstream and a lifelong publishing contract with Scribner's. Under the guidance of the legendary editor Maxwell Perkins, Hemingway begins to take his place on the national and international stage as a professional author.
'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
