Ernest Hemingway loved too much, or didn't know how.

Author A.E. Hotchner was friends with Ernest Hemingway during the final years of the famed writer's life. In 1966, a few years after Hemingway committed suicide, Hotchner published Papa Hemingway--a biography that Hemingway's fourth wife contested in court (and lost).

Now, at the age of 95, and in the final years of his own life, Hotchner has a companion biographical piece about the Nobel laureate, called Hemingway in Love.

Speaking in an interview, Hotchner details some points of emphasis on Hemingway's various marriages, and how Papa longed for an earlier time near the end. "What he's talking about, really, are his first two wives, Hadley the first and Pauline the second," says Hotchner. "In my experiences with him at the tail end of his life, he was reliving the mistakes he made, being in love with those two women at the same time."

Well, if love was ever simple, then there would be no writers.
