Pilar was there all the second haf of his life an for Hemingway: it was at the centre, this book plausibly suggests, of his being in the world. Paul Hendrickson duly set about getting to the core of Hemingway's relationship with Pilar. And how! He hasn't just interviewed Hemingway's sons and surviving former friends and helpers. He has investigated the history of the company that built Hemingway's boat, and visited the muddy waterway in which she first floated. if @ journalist published a news report on Hemingway's arrival in Cuba, where he lived for many years, Hendrickson will have studied his subsequent career. f Hemingway fished a particular stream on one occasion i his teens, Hendrickson will have fished it too. Ths is the total immersion schoo! of - well, biography isn’t quite the word. Its a sort of mental home invasion. ‘The narrative loops around in time - describing the acquisition of the boat, and going forward and back to his childhood, zipping into his legacy, and closing in on his death. As well as the Pilar story, it describes, at some length, a trio of others. There's Arnold Samuelson, a well-educated wanderer who ended up crewing his boat; there's Walter Houk, a Junior diplomat, whose wife worked as Hemingway's secretary and who was similarly taken up; and there's Hemingway's youngest son, Gregory ('Gig'’). The author interviewed the latter two, and extensively researched the first, telling their previously under-exemined stories fully and sympathetically in the hope that, in the overlap between them, we'd get somewhere close to Hemingway. It works. This book places you formidably deep in Hemingway's world and life. It takes you down to the insertions and deletions in manuscripts, and shows you how the sentences were formed; with what agony and then excitement he wrote. Not that it cuts comers on the wild, action-man stuff either. Hemingway was insanely competitive, and. behaved with infantile petulance when a guest out-hunted or outfished him, At one point the author remarks drily, when Hemingway shoots himself in the log on board Pilar. ‘Perhaps if the fisherman hadn't been trying to land the fish and gaff it and shoot it in the head all at once, the accident would never have occurred.’ And he sure did love shooting. Here we meet Hemingway shooting at bottles, shooting his initials into the top of @ shark’s head, blowing away seabirds with a shotgun, and so on. But here, too, isthe Hemingway who knew what © monster he could be, and regrotted it. This was @ man eho was capable of great acta of Kindness and generosity, and of remorse.

The internet and other developments in technology hat had a major impact on the music industry. What are the implications for those wanting to run their own record label? Four people who have set up small, independent record labels share their insights. A Ben Wolf Fundamentally, I'm a music enthusiast. | started off as a DJ in dance clubs, and setting up 2 ecord label seemed like the logical next step. ‘There are always unknown factors, but in my experience, the key to success in this business is putting yourself in the position of the other person involved and anticipating their needs or what makes them tick. Why does a DJ want to play a certain record? Who would sell or buy a fecord? With digital technology, establishing an independent label has become more manageable. ‘The industry has a tendency to bemoan the fact that sales and income are massively down, but what is equally trua is that the costs of producing, manufacturing and promoting music have been reduced, so if you're sensible, there's less to lose these days. Two other crucial points: you need to be a team player because no single person could handle everything, and while you need a balance between your professional and your family life, you need to be ready to dedicate yourself to the job 100% when necessary. B Henry Stone I'm cofounder of an independent record label. We've discovered some great musical artists, a few of whom have become very popular and have more than paid back what we invested in them, but we don’t play the game of predicting which artists will fly of flop in the market. Our focus is. on working with creative, inspiring songwriters or musicians, and how to further their message. The ‘mutually supportive relationship | have with my cofounder, Mark, is fundamental to what we've achieved: neither of us could have survived on our ‘own, We've been going for some years but it stil doesn't feel like a job. No two days are the same, whether we're promoting an event, filming 2 documentary, releasing 2 record, or checking out a band in the studio. You have to be careful with burn-out, though. I'm often up at 7.00 a.m. and still emailing beyond midnight, but | ensure that when I'm with family and friends, work is blocked ‘Out entirely. Without perspective and space, Your judgement can go to pieces. Cambridge Enaiish: Advanced Test 3 b> Kerry Murphy If was 21 years old, just out of college, and with the understanding of the music industry that | have now, I'm not sure I'd set up a record label. Mean think of less time-consuming and more straightforward and lucrative businesses to get into, and i's not going to get any easier. But, if you {eel ‘compelled to do it~ some of us do - then | would consider a partnership with somebody who has strengths in areas where you are weak, and e-versa, That's worked for me. Also, | wouilda’t {get too enamoured with the things that others already do well. We're associated with distributors around the world that are just great at what they do, and we've learned not to interfere. We have even given up having an in-house sales team; ‘outsourcing works fine. Our primary concern now is with the music; making sure our artists are on time, look great and are well funded. D Riz Amal | think now is a great time to start a label if that’s your thing. With everything changing so rapidly, no one really knows what the landscape will be in two years’ time, let alone 20. The old-school record label model has been dying out for years, and with sales and income falling, as they have been virtually everywhere, the smart thing to do is to try to break the mould. Being a pioneer always brings with it the danger of failure, and it’s likely ‘to require all-consuming commitment in terms of time and energy, but there may be no alternative, The lines between what an independent record label does and what the manager of a musician ‘or band does will continue to blur. Labels wil need to get involved in artists’ tours, in thei merchandising and even publishing ~ activities they have tended to stay away from. As long as the numbers balance, and the budgets and forecasts are realistic, then there's no reason why ‘a now independent label can't work. pare 63; PER 1 Reading and Use of English >
