Aleteia
-
Alongside the intrinsic qualities of a meticulous study of Hemingway’s life, Kendall’s book is written in a tone that reflects a profound symbiosis with the spirit of the man she investigates.
OnePeterFive

Our two Scribner biographies of Hemingway—the monumental Carlos Baker and the critical Anthony Burgess—ignore or, worse, dismiss the powerful if alternating current of Hemingway's adoptive Catholicism throughout his life and work. Finally, a half-century later, Mary Claire Kendall casts a beam of light through the chiaroscuro of that author's troublous life. It is quite simply the most revealing portrait of the inner-Hemingway since A Moveable Feast. Faith is a gift; this book is a treasure.
Charles Scribner III, author of Scribners: Five Generations in Publishing

If you care about anything Ernest Hemingway has written, you will inevitably face the fact of Hemingway's Faith. While Academics are largely allergic to Faith, and with such a popular writer as Ernest Hemingway, even opposed to any discussion of his Faith, it is the central crux of all of his writing. If we consider the prominence of Hemingway as the twentieth century's most popular and influential writer, Hemingway's Faith is central to the very discussion of literature, period. The Hemingway world, the literary world, needs this book, Hemingway's Faith, now more than ever.
Matthew C. Nickel, author of Hemingway's Dark Night: Catholic Influences and Intertextualities in the Work of Ernest Hemingway; assistant professor of English at Misericordia University
