Barnes & NobleOne True Sentence: Writers & Readers on Hemingway'S Art by Mark Cirino (Editor)

A selection of the greatest sentences by the master, Ernest Hemingway. Sentences that can take a readers breath away and are not easily forgotten. Each sentence has been selected and examined by authors such as Elizabeth Strout, Sherman Alexie, Paula McLain, and Russell Banks; filmmakers Ken Burns and Lynn Novick; Sen Hemingway, A. Scott Berg, and many others in this celebration and conversation between Hemingway and some of hismostperceptive and interesting readers.All you have to do is write one true sentence, Hemingway wrote in his memoir, A Moveable Feast. Write the truest sentence that you know. If that is the secret to Hemingways enduring power, what sentences continue to live in readers minds? And why do they resonant? The host and producer of the One True Podcast have gathered the best of their program (heard by thousands of listeners) and added entirely new material for this collection of conversations about Hemingways truest words.From the long, whole-story-in-a-sentence line, I have seen the one-legged streetwalker who works the Boulevard Madeleine between the Rue Cambon and Bernheim Jeunes limping along the pavement through the crowd on a rainy night with a beefy red faced episcopal clergyman holding an umbrella over her., to the short, pithy line that closes The Sun Also Rises, Isn't it pretty to think.
