In this Hemingway fiction in our time, author Scott Fivelson takes listeners on a literary journey from Paris to Pamplona as a marathoner on his last legs reflects on the sport as it might have been written about if Hemingway had been a runner. A Farewell to Legs is both a satire of a classic and a classic satire.

Scott Fivelson is a playwright, screenwriter, and author whose short stories and satirical pieces have appeared in the Chicago Tribune, the Los Angeles Times, Playboy, Los Angeles magazine, Chicago magazine, and Tales from the Heart of Hollywood. His film, American Reel, a comedy/drama about the music business, starred David Carradine, Michael Maloney, and Mariel Hemingway.

Mariel Hemingway, the granddaughter of the illustrious author Ernest Hemingway, was destined to be in the public eye. But at just thirteen years old, she became famous in her own right as she made her feature film debut in Lipstick. Three years later, at the age of sixteen, Hemingway earned an Oscar nomination for her role in Woody Allen’s film Manhattan. She is now an actress, model, yoga instructor, mother of two teenage girls, and one of the leading voices for holistic and balanced living.

Reviews

“The way Mariel Hemingway narrated this story was wonderful. Her voice and tone added so much inflection to the story, making it easy to close your eyes and really get lost in it…This audiobook moves from one subject to the next and then back again with ease. It has a nice blend of humor, thought-provoking statements, and some great quotes…Great audiobook, great ending.”
