Hemingway’s Fishing Rod: A Study of the First African Plane Crash and Rescue
Document Type
Article
Annotation
Compares Hemingway’s accounts of his 1954 African plane crashes for Look magazine to the secondhand recollections of Gino Abreo whose father rescued Hemingway after the first crash and the version appearing in Mary Hemingway’s autobiography, How It Was (1977). Draws on biographies, correspondence, journals, and other sources to show how Hemingway downplayed his experiences to maintain his legendary macho image.
