ERNEST HEMINGWAY'S LAST UNPUBLISHED WORK!
A blend of autobiography and fiction, True at First Light opens on the day Ernest Hemingway's close friend Pop, a celebrated hunter, leaves him in charge of the safari camp and news arrives of a potential attack from a hostile tribe. Drama continues to build as his wife, Mary, pursues the great, black-maned lion that has become her obsession. Equally adept at evoking the singular textures of the landscape, the thrill of the hunt and the complexities of married life, Hemingway waves a tale that is rich in laughter, beauty, and profound insight. True at First Light is the breathtaking final work from one of this nation's most beloved and important writers.
The flat swagger of the language keeps you wary, if only for its rare volleys. There is a kind of mottled glamour, made up of bullying integrity and nonsense, of truth and falsity....This was Hemingway's revolution, to take first-person narration and make it into the original style of a third-person author....[This book] serves as a warning to let Hemingway be, both as a literary estate and as a literary influence.

True at First Light: A Fictional Memoir
I would have loved to give this book five stars, but it didn't happen. The reason being is that it seemed the editors stitched together some parts that didn't seem to fit. Granted, I think the editors of Hemingway's posthumous works have done a better job editing than Hemingway did.
I enjoyed reading about Hemingway's version of Africa and all of the literary references he peppered the narrative with.
Also, this might be a good introduction book of Hemingway's writing, because you can see how his end works became more enjoyable to read. And, it might get the reader interested in what Hemingway's early writing was like.
