New York Times Notable Book of the Year
|
"Funny, enthralling, and uncommonly clever." "Henderson's demented comic, ribald foray into fiction and fact may
alter forever the way we perceive the delicate art of biography." "A hugely entertaining novel of what-ifs." "Complex, amusing and palpably symbolic." "A genuine rarity: a work of serious fiction that can entertain... This
masterful novel is strongly recommended." "A raucous tale of literary fear and loathing." "Henderson takes us on a strange, comical, and mysterious ride through
the center of make-believe... A grand farce." "A provocative, often hilarious look at celebrity and obsession, truth
and myth... The climax is simultaneously pulse-pounding and comic, the perfect finish for
this witty, inventive book." "At once side-splitting and insightful...Displays an impressive
firepowerof talent. It offers entertainment, intelligence, and an emotional aim that is
sharp and true." "A feast of moveable freaks, with the still-beating heart of
Hemingway's legend as its main course." "Funny as it can be, I Killed Hemingway is really about the terror of
wasting your life, cutting deals with devils and discovering that make-believe is still
the most authentic thing there is." "This believable and fantastic literary thriller--about myth, lost
reputations, celebrityhood, TV craziness, and pop psychology (not to speak of Papa, Ezra,
and Gertrude)--will hold you until the last gripping and very human page." |
