Join us for an all-new One True Podcast as we welcome Sandra Spanier and Miriam B. Mandel to discuss the fifth volume of The Letters of Ernest Hemingway. The newest installment covers 1932 to 1934, where Hemingway is finishing his bullfighting manifesto, Death in the Afternoon,  preparing his idiosyncratic book of short stories, Winner Take Nothing, and readying his chronicle of the hunt, Green Hills of Africa.

Spanier and Mandel discuss Hemingway’s complicated personal life, his literary ambitions, his global travels, and his ever-changing network of friends and associates. Join us for a tour through Volume 5 of the Letters with its magnificent editors!
