New Jersey visual artist Raul Villarreal presents a new memoir co-written with his father, Rene Villarreal. In 1939, the great American writer Ernest Hemingway moved into the Finca Vigia, an estate outside of Havana. In 1946 he hired Rene Villarreal—then only 17—as his household manager. Over the next 15 years, Villarreal became a witness to Hemingway's escapades and adventures as well as the writer's work habits, moods, passions and friendships.
