In this work of literary archeology, the author documents Ernest Hemingway's creative process using published and archival texts to shed light on the connections between his life and writing. Justice refers to his writings of the 1920s and through the 1950s and shows how he married the "personal" with the "authentic."

"There is no work that competes with this. . . . Every chapter is fresh—and always interesting. The Bones of the Others is a strikingly contemporary way to approach this never-dated modernist. Justice shows how Hemingway got where he was trying to go, perhaps even before he knew the direction himself.”—Linda Wagner-Martin, Frank Borden Hanes Professor of English and Comparative Literature, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
