Abstract :

The publication of 'True at First Light' has caused controversy in the publishing industry. The book is based on a rough draft of a book that Ernest Hemingway wrote before his death about an African safari trip he had taken, but the trip is a blend of fact and fiction. Hemingway purists are likely to criticize the book, claiming that it is substandard to his other works.
