...Private World. Even though held in by injury and age, Hemingway's life-on a small plantation ten miles outside Havana, called Finca Vigia, or Lookout Farm-is still the special Hemingway blend of thought and action, artistry and nonconformity. The Hemingway of 1954 still has a bit of himself for the many sides of his life-and plenty left over to populate that private Hemingway world where the Hemingway heroes and heroines live their lives of pride and trouble, enduring with courage as long as they can, often destroyed but never defeated...

...actress or sorceress enough. She manipulates herself, and the kitchen chair that is her only prop, in all sorts of bold, mannered, ingenious ways; but they call too much attention to themselves, or seem too cute, or wear thin too soon, or don't really blend with her songs. It is her voice that is true theater, not these stage tricks; and when she sings the old favorites as encores, the voice is all that is needed...
