Good Night, Hem

by Jason

ISBN: 9781683964612 (HB - EN)

Ernest Hemingway stars in three interconnecting short stories in this graphic novel. Paris, 1925. Our story begins when Hemingway meets Athos, the last Musketeer, who, together with several more friends of Hemingway, travel to Spain's Pamplona for the fiesta. Festivities and complications ensue. Paris, 1944. The second story starts the day after the liberation of Paris when Hemingway, now a war correspondent, decides enough is enough, and takes action to end the war for good. With a group of adventurers and resistance fights, he parachutes into Germany to do just that. Cuba, late 1950s. Our literary lion is in his twilight years, writing his memoirs, remembering his first and second meeting with the seemingly immortal Athos. Mixing fact and fiction, Jason has imaginatively recreated one of America's greatest and most controversial writers of the 20th century. Reviews The legend of Ernest Hemingway is given a laconic, witty spin in this quirky three-part biography with fantastical elements from Eisner Award-winning Norwegian cartoonist Jason.-- "Publishers Weekly" Jason delivers an at times whimsical but overwhelmingly melancholic portrait, revealing reverence and sympathy for Hemingway without ignoring the author's shortcomings. One of the best releases of 2021.-- "Library Journal (starred review)" Mixing fact and fiction, no other artist has had as much fun or provided as much insight into the Hemingway mythos as Jason.--Robert K. Elder, Hemingway in Comics

Jason continues to be one of the best cartoonists working anywhere. --"Publishers Weekly" The Norwegian artist who goes by the single name Jason is the most deadpan comedian in comics. --"The New York Times" Unlike traditional literature, comix, and particularly Jason's simple style, allow the reader to fully move into the space provided. Slowly, but altogether too fast, you look back and see an entire book, and an entire life, has gone past. --"Time Magazine" About the Author Jason hails from Oslo, Norway, but currently resides in Montpellier, France. He's won multiple Eisners, a Harvey, and an Inkpot award.
