Fred Schäfer

The Short and Wonderful Life of Henry Hemingway Fred Schäfer

Henry Miller?s son Tony writes about this book: Dear Fred, I rushed immediately to the manuscript and began reading with wild abandon. I can see clearly your influences. And I really laughed out loud about our casual meeting. You have such a good way with words. I am totally delighted by your book. You have captured certain essences and smells and ways of doing things. I am sure The Short and Wonderful Life of Henry Hemingway will be a wonderful success. All the best, Tony Bruce L. Russell, Author of Channelling Henry, writes: Fred Schäfer takes on two of the 20th Century?s literary giants. The story takes off when he arrives in New York. Miraculously, he meets an old mate of Hemingway?s from the Toronto Star. He enjoys a bevy of buxom beauties, in true Miller style. Not as macho as Ernest, Fred manages to inject the book with a unique philosophy, somewhere between Schopenhauer and Bob Dylan. Fred's single-minded search for a muse, his struggle with his demons and his refreshingly unique literary voice make his memoirs a brilliant book, a page-turner, provocatively humorous and acutely reflective.
