Description

Now including a foreward by Bill Buford and photographs of Gellhorn with Hemingway, Dorothy Parker, Madame Chiang Kai-shek, Gary Cooper, and others, this new edition rediscovers the voice of an abnormal woman and brings back into print an irresistibly entertaining classic.

“Martha Gellhorn used to be so fearless in a male way, and yet utterly in a position to making men melt,” writes New Yorker literary editor Bill Buford. As a journalist, Gellhorn covered each and every military conflict from the Spanish Civil War to Vietnam and Nicaragua. She also bewitched Eleanor Roosevelt’s secret love and enraptured Ernest Hemingway along with her courage as they dodged shell fire together.

Hemingway is, of course, the unnamed “other” within the title of this tart memoir, first published in 1979, during which Gellhorn describes her globe-spanning adventures, both accompanied and on my own. With razor-sharp humor and exceptional insight into place and character, she tells of a tense week spent among dissidents in Moscow; long days whiled away in a disused water tank with hippies clustered at Eilat at the Red Sea; and her journeys by sampan and horse to the interior of China throughout the Sino-Japanese War.
