Both a revealing self-portrait and dramatic chronicle of his final African safari, Ernest Hemingway's last unpublished work was written when he returned from Kenya in 1953. Edited by his son Patrick, who accompanied his father on the safari, True at First Light offered rare insights into the legendary American writer, published posthumously in the hundredth anniversary of his birth. "A major literary event" (David Gates, Newsweek). "The most important book to appear in 1999" (The Times).
