	2.	Burgess, Anthony Ernest Hemingway and His World Thames & Hudson January 1978 Hardcover ABOUT THE BOOKErnest Hemingway and His WorldFROM THE PUBLISHERHemingway's great achievement was to free the novel from all the languid decoration and cozy indirectness that was its early twentieth-century inheritance.
