Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. Format is 7.75 inches by 8.5 inches. [6], 313, [1] pages. Signed by the author on the title page. Bill Henderson (William McCranor Henderson) (born 1943, Charlotte, N.C.) is an American author whose writing has explored the mutual influences of popular culture and literature, and the dark side of celebrity. Boston Magazine noted that his work displays "a real feel for the sad, ridiculous squalor in America, the tacky bars and beauty shops and motel swimming pools, the even cheaper dreams of the people who hang out at them. What Henderson does best, though, is transform the seedy into musical prose." Henderson, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer, "has raided the pop-cult pantheon and managed the estimable feat of breathing new life into the theme of adulation and emulation in a fame-happy era." Carl Hiaasen, in The Washington Post, called it "funny, enthralling, and uncommonly clever." The San Francisco Chronicle called it a "raucous tale of literary fear and loathing." He is best known for his novels Stark Raving Elvis and I Killed Hemingway. This believable and fantastic literary thriller--about myth, lost reputations, celebrityhood, TV craziness, and pop psycholoy--will hold you until the last gripping and very human page. This book is really about the terror of wasting your life, about cutting deals with devils and discovering that make-believe is still the most authentic thing there is. This book is a feast of moveable freaks, with the still-beating heart of Hemingway's legend as its main course. Was Ernest Hemingway a plagiarist? Did he thirst after the blood of matadors? Was there more to his relationship with Gertrude Stein than he let on? What really happened to the suitcase full of irreplaceable manuscripts that Hadley lost at the train station? And was Hemingway's suicide, in fact, a cold-blooded murder? These are only a few of the scandalous questions raised by one "Pappy" Markham of Key West, an irascible old derelict with a sixty-year grudge against his alleged pal and larcenous protege, Ernest Hemingway. Eager for his story, publisher Warren & Dudge dispatches literary hack Elliot McGuire to edit the manuscript. When Elliot, a none-too-stable ex-Hemingway scholar himself, discovers there's nothing on paper, he agrees to a scam - in exchange for Pappy's advance, he'll ghost a manuscript. It's an ill-fated entry into the snake pit of Pappy's bizarre world, and Elliot barely makes it back to New York with his mind and soul intact after a rough ride through the fantasy landscape of Hemingway's Paris and beyond. When Pappy's "memoir" I Killed Hemingway is an instant best-seller and Pappy a riotous hit on the talk-show circuit, a remorseful Elliot must try to turn back the forces he helped unleash - as a hungry national media turns scandal into history revised. William McCranor Henderson has written a masterfully comic, inventive, and provocative novel. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: Henderson considers mortality and our culture's lust for celebrity as he transforms another legend, that of Ernest Hemingway. His dementedly comic, ribald foray into fiction and fact may alter forever the way we perceive the delicate art of biography. Henderson skewers people's fascination with true crime--Pappy earns fame rather than punishment; a key courtroom-style scene takes place on a TV talk show--and mocks celebrity wannabes with an all-too-real Hemingway look-alike contest. His ability to shatter an icon, then glue the pieces back together, unnerves his readers as surely as it does his exhausted, desperate characters. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated].
