Trying to Find Hemingway, Getting Lost

In 1987, The Washington Post published a three-part series on the sons of Ernest Hemingway, written by then-staff writer Paul Hendrickson. During the intervening decades and several books later, the Hemingways continued to germinate in the authorâ??s mind. Driven by a genuine curiosity and the energy found in the best of reporters and biographers, Mr. Hendrickson pored over photos, home movies and audio recordings, relentlessly interviewing anyone who had any connection to his subject.
