Biography Of A Great Author [hardcover] Ernest Hemingway
My introduction rather sadly judges The Old Man and the Sea period piece, an involuntary self-parody, an unfortunate allegory in which Santiago is Christ is Hemingway. Almost all the essayists gathered here seem to me to have read some book other than the one they purportedly discuss. P.G. Rama Rao praises The Old Man’s Skill in narration, while Williams finds nothing grotesque in Hemingway’s other tepid allegory, in which the sharks are unfriendly cities.

Biography
The Wright Brothers by Fred Charters Kelly (H.B)
In this fascinating, highly readable biography, Fred C. Kelly, a former newspaperman, author, and an old friend of the Wrights, tells the story of the two brilliant, dedicated, flight-obsessed bicycle mechanics from Ohio who first realized mankind’s age-old dream of conquering the skies. Long considered the definitive Wright biography (the manuscript was read and approved by Orville Wright), this book recounts the Wrights’ small-town boyhood, their early interest in all things mechanical, the establishment of the Wright Cycle Shop, and the complete behind-the-scenes story of how they designed, built, tested, and flew (December 1903) the first “Flyer.” Enhanced with sixteen rare photographs, Mr. Kelly’s engaging account avoids minute technical description, yet describes simply and clearly the technological innovations that enabled the two brothers to succeed where so many others had failed. Anyone interested in the mechanics of flight or early aviation will find this volume a splendid introduction to the Wright brothers and their epochal achievement.
