School Library Journal Review of Bump

Bump in the Night got a very nice review in the School Library Journal Review; here is an excerpt:

Look, I know you've got a lot of monster books out there to choose from. Not just blue ones either. But sometimes you want a monster story that can give you cool visuals and a fun plot without sacrificing style or message. This little number won't change the face of friendly monster fare as we know it, but when it comes to amusing both adults and kids alike it certainly has the edge. Fun. Cute. Hard to resist.

Mention in New York Post

Ed got some ink in the venerable New York Post as the co-author of a literary cocktail book:

"Hard drinking used to be seen as a badge of respect, whereas now it's seen as a crutch," says Edward Hemingway, the grandson of Ernest. "Alcoholism is understood as more of a disease now than it was back in my grandfather's day."

Judging A Contest

According to this blog, Ed is judging a contest for cover art for a book:

Additional special events this year include, a Design Binding Exhibit with more than 50 decorative and artistic books on display at the downtown branch of the Ann Arbor District Library running through August 28 and a special focus on Hemingway in Michigan which includes a panel of international scholars, a publication of a poem by Hemingway in a limited edition broadside and a contest for high school students to redesign the dust jacket of “The Nick Adams Stories”. Hemingway’s grandson, author and illustrator Edward Hemingway, is one of the judges. The BookFest’s Hemingway events are made possible by funding from the Michigan Humanities Council, an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Review of the Bar Tending Guide

Here is a nice review of the bar tending guide. An excerpt follows:

Hemingway & Bailey's Bartending Guide, Cookbook of the Day

Okay, so it isn't a cookbook. It's a bartending guide. But still, Hemingway & Bailey's Bartending Guide to Great American Writers is worthy of a mention. There are a million billion books on booze out there, but not so many that add a face and swirl of words to the tasty libation.

More PR for Bump Signing

Here is yet another PR piece on Ed's upcoming Bump signing in the lovely Florida keys: lucky Ed!

Key West's 2008 Hemingway Days celebration is to begin not with a bang, but with a bump — when writer and artist Edward Hemingway introduces his engaging children's picture book, "Bump in the Night."

The youngest grandson of American literary legend Ernest Hemingway, Edward Hemingway is to debut and sign the book during a 5:30-7 p.m. reception Tuesday, July 15, at Key West's landmark Blue Heaven restaurant and bar, 729 Thomas St. The location is particularly meaningful because it's the site of a onetime boxing ring where Ernest Hemingway refereed neighborhood matches when he lived in the island city in the 1930s.

"I'm really excited to be coming to Key West to showcase the book, and it seems very appropriate," said Edward Hemingway, son of Ernest's youngest son Gregory. "My father spent a great deal of his childhood in the Keys and so did I — so what better place for me to launch my first children's book?"
