Description

More than fifty years have passed since the death of Ernest Hemingway, history's ultimate man, and young males today - obsessed with Facebook, Twitter, and Playstation - know nothing about his legendary brand of rugged, alcoholic masculinity. They cannot skin a fish, dominate a battlefield, or transform majestic creatures of the Southern Hemisphere into piano keyboards. The Heming Way demonstrates how modern eunuchs - brainwashed by PETA and Alcoholics Anonymous - can learn from Papa's unparalleled example: drunken, unshaven, meat-devouring, wife-divorcing, and gloriously self-destructive. Advice includes: - How to kill enough animals to render a species endangered - just like Papa!- Getting your friends to think drinking a daiquiri is manly... just by drinking nine yourself- Achieving sufficiently high testosterone levels to never have to worry about the chance of having a daughter instead of a son

Reviews

"Within this raucous self-help handbook to hairy-chested masculinity (and cat ownership), as exemplified by Papa Hemingway, lurks a serious message: turn off the TV, log off Facebook, and get out there and live! A great choice for manly men and/or couch potatoes." --Booklist
