| | Review True at First Light |
 | | In Africa a thing is true at first light and a lie by noon and you have no more respect for it than for the lovely, perfect weed fringed lake you see across the sun baked salt plain. | | | Hemingway always said that a writer's greatest duty was to be true -- both to himself and to his readers. | | | The Hemingway we see in True at First Light practices the same sort of adultery that one finds between droit de seigneur and Mel Brooks' "It's good to be king." Part of it is reprehensible, and much of it is goofy. |

| | BookPage Interview July 1999: Patrick Hemingway |
| | True at First Light, the fifth and final posthumous book from Ernest Hemingway, is a "fictional memoir" based on the author's 1953 African safari. | | | At that point, it was merely a matter of waiting until he felt the spirit moving him to tackle, for the first and last time, a manuscript of his father's. | | | CS: Scholars have referred to the manuscript by the title given it by Sports Illustrated, "The African Journal." But Hemingway never called it that, and to call it a journal would be misleading about the nature of the manuscript. |

| | In True at First Light, Hemingway also chronicles his exploits - sometimes hilarious and sometimes poignant - among the African men with whom he has become very close, reminisces about encounters with other writers and his days in Paris and Spain and satirizes, among other things, the role of organized religion in Africa. | | | Equally adept at evoking the singular textures of the landscape, the thrill of the hunt and the complexities of married life, Hemingway weaves a tale that is rich in laughter, beauty, and profound insight. | | | Joan Didion dismissed True at First Light in The New Yorker as "words set down but not yet written," but this fails to acknowledge the power of these words. |

| | The problem with True at First Light is that unlike the other posthumous works, which were edited with great restraint, this book likely bears little resemblance to the untitled manuscript from which it was derived. | | | Patrick Hemingway's version of True at First Light makes one wonder if perhaps he never read his father's other works. | | | Patrick explains in the somewhat bizarre introduction that the manuscript was two hundred thousand words long, and the edited book is only about half that length. |

| | But the accounts of Eusebius, Socrates, Sozomen, Theodoret, and Rufinus may be considered as very important sources of historical information, as well as some data preserved by St. Athanasius, and a history of the Council of Nicaea written in Greek in the fifth century by Gelasius of Cyzicus. | | | All the collections of canons, whether in Latin or Greek, composed in the fourth and fifth centuries agree in attributing to this Council only the twenty canons, which we possess today. | | | The emperor had by this time escaped from the influence of Eusebius of Nicomedia, and was under that of Hosius, to whom, as well as to St. Athanasius, may be attributed a preponderant influence in the formulation of the symbol of the First Ecumenical Council, of which the following is a literal translation: |

| | An Unflattering `Light' / Posthumous `fictional memoir' is flawed, but traces of Hemingway still come through |
| | ``True at First Light'' is a bad book, in places even a tedious book, and, worst of all, it is not Ernest Hemingway's book. | | | Cultural historians may also find ``True at First Light'' of interest because of references such as, ``They were the people, the watu. | | | (Well, he was a pretty good one.) These are the wrong questions, just as ``True at First Light'' is the wrong book to emblematize Hemingway, who, no matter what the politically correct may say, remains one of the best writers ever. |

| | Widely regarded as a cult classic among books about science, First Light is a true story that tells of the men and women astronomers at the Palomar Observatory in the mountains of southern California, who peer through telescopes into the deepest reaches of the universe, attempting to solve riddles from the beginning of time. | | | "First Light beautifully depicts astronomers' deepened understanding of earth as the merest speck in time and space." | | | The science is accurate, the portraits of the human characters are true to life, and the story whizzes along like a ride on a roller coaster. |

| | In April, at the John F. Kennedy Library in Boston, a gaggle of high-profile writers gathered to debate the wisdom of posthumously publishing manuscripts that authors leave behind, such as is being done now with Hemingway's True at First Light. | | | If Hemingway was bad at anything in his great novels, it was dialogue. | | | It is both a wonderful love story and, together with All Quiet on the Western Front (published in the same year, 1929), one of the century's first great antiwar novels. |

| | True at First Light - Ernest Hemingway |
| | Written when Hemmingway returned from his 1953 safari, but only recently edited by his son Patrick, True at First Light is a rich blend of autobiography and fiction, a breathtaking final work from one of the century's most beloved and important writers. | | | Published here for the first time, True at First Light is an extraordinary and powerful addition to the perpetually popular work of one of the twentieth-century's greatest writers. | | | The book opens on the day Hemmingway's close friend, Pop, a legendary hunter, leaves him in charge of the camp. |

| | Hemingway, Ernest. True at First Light. |
| | Its title is taken from a line of Hemingway's that begins, "In Africa a thing is true at first light and a lie by noon," and this sense of shifting perspective and ephemerality permeates his provocative narrative. | | | His son, Patrick, undertook the demanding work of editing his father's tale, and this intriguing "fictional memoir" is the result. | | | As they wait for the lion to reveal himself, and for love and politics to take their course, Pop, Mary, and various visitors drink gin, indulge in sharply witty repartee, and take stock of their lives. |
