Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Audiobook Review
"A writer must face eternity, or the lack of it, each day," says Ernest Hemingway in his Nobel Prize acceptance speech. Eternity Hemingway certainly has secured for himself with his internationally renowned body of work. In this collection, however, he reads some of his lesser-known pieces, including the Nobel speech, a poem, and even a work in progress, most of which were recorded in Cuba. Although his readings of his own work seem timidly rigid at times, this tape represents a rare opportunity for Hemingway fans and nonfans alike, as it is one of the only known recordings of the writer's voice. (Running time: 45 minutes, 1 cassette) --Natasha Senjanovich

From Library Journal
"A writer should write what he has to say and not speak it," noted Ernest Hemingway, toward the end of his Nobel prize acceptance speech. Especially, he might have added, when it is recorded badly on obsolete equipment and the writer sounds like he may have had a few drinks. Nor are these selections taken from his best work. "Second Poem to Mary," "Harry's Bar in Venice," a short excerpt from The Fifth Column, something called "Work in Progress" (Islands in the Stream), and "Saturday Night at the Whorehouse in Billings, Montana" comprise the other selections. Balance these minuses against the historic value this tape holds (it may be the only existing tape of Hemingway reading) and the reasonable price, and you make the call. William Faulkner Reads, on the other hand, can be heartily recommended. The interest here, of course, is how he navigates his own two-page, stream-of-consciousness sentences, which would melt most modern grammarians. Calmly, it turns out, taking frequent breaths. His performance and the technical quality of the recording is much better than Hemingway's, though both would have benefited from titles appearing on the tape, rather than merely on the box. The Faulkner selections are superior, including his well-known Nobel acceptance speech and excerpts from As I Lay Dying, A Fable, and The Old Man.?John Hiett, Iowa City P.L.
