Hemingway's boat

First I heard of it was a patron asking for it today.

Kirkus: Seven years in the making, this vivid portrait allows us to see Hemingway on the Pilar once again, standing on the flying bridge and guiding her out of the harbor at sunrise. Appearing on the 50th anniversary of Hemingway's death, this beautifully written, nuanced meditation deserves a wide audience. High praise, indeed.
