In each, his writing crackles with poker-faced wit and stylistic brilliance. As a witness to his times - the good, the bad and the absurd - he was unmatched, and his instinct for important events, and moments, was infallible. His range here includes Ibizan fishermen, an interview with Castro's executioner, the genocide of the South American Indian tribes, a paean to Seville and his meeting with a tragic Ernest Hemingway. That meeting was 'a shattering experience, ' Norman wrote to Ian Fleming who had commissioned him, 'of the kind likely to sabotage ambition.' Fortunately it didn't, and the articles assembled between these covers are compulsive, hilarious, tender and beautifully written, at times deeply upsetting and always unforgettable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 384\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 16, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51984011690285,"sku":"9781780602318","price":45.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/0dOq1SF3R59781780602318.webp?v=1776081375","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/a-quiet-evening-the-travels-of-norman-lewis-hardcover","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
