Eager to find his way in life and words, John Dos Passos first witnessed the horror of trench warfare in France as a volunteer ambulance driver retrieving the dead and seriously wounded from the front line. Later in the war, he briefly met another young writer, Ernest Hemingway, who was just arriving for his service in the ambulance corps. When the war was over, both men knew they had to write about it; they had to give voice to what they felt about war and life. Their friendship and collaboration developed through the peace of the 1920s and 1930s, as Hemingway's novels soared to success while Dos Passos penned the greatest antiwar novel of his generation, Three Soldiers. In war, Hemingway found adventure, women, and a cause. Dos Passos saw only oppression and futility. Their different visions eventually turned their private friendship into a bitter public fight, fueled by money, jealousy, and lust. Rich in evocative detail-- from Paris cafes to the Austrian Alps, from the streets of Pamplona to the waters of Key West-- [this book] is a biography of a turbulent friendship between two of the century's greatest writers, and an illustration of how war both inspires and destroys, unites and divides." -- Amazon.com. 504 Includes bibliographical references (pages 259-296) and index. 600 10 Hemingway, Ernest, |d1899-1961 |xCriticism and interpretation. |=^A634390 600 10 Dos Passos, John, |d1896-1970 |xCriticism and interpretation. |=^A15905 600 10 Hemingway, Ernest, |d1899-1961 |xFriends and associates. |=^A634390 600 10 Dos Passos, John, |d1896-1970 |xFriends and associates. |=^A15905 600 17 Dos Passos, John, |d1896-1970. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00048297 |?UNAUTHORIZED 600 17 Hemingway, Ernest, |d1899-1961. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00027488 |?UNAUTHORIZED 611 27 World War (1914-1918) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01180746 |?UNAUTHORIZED 650 0 World War, 1914-1918 |xLiterature and the war. |=^A76863 650 7 Friendship. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00935174 650 7 War and literature. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01170442 650 7 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Literary. |2bisacsh 650 7 HISTORY / Military / World War I. |2bisacsh 648 7 1914-1918 |2fast 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411635 949 |i30372016641836 |ojjlm 960 |o1 |s27.00 |tJoyner48 |uJAPP |zUSD 596 1 998 4735044
