Series Review: Hemingway (PBS)
Shocking tales of suicide, soldiering and the writer’s literary life
Billed on America’s state-sponsored television programming, Public Broadcasting System (PBS), as “a film by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick”, the three-part Hemingway stuns, informs and stimulates. This is Burns’s best documentary. I learned more about the 20th century’s influential, suicidal and bestselling writer than I’d ever known.
