If Ken Burns is involved, I assume there is a strong race angle. Was Hemingway part of the KKK or otherwise politically incorrect? Will the documentary give special credit to Langston Hughes or somebody? Burns never tells a straight-forward story about whites.

His Mark Twain bio was really good as I recall. As was the Roosevelts series.

Because Burns is a major queenie tootster, and thus never
“straight” in telling the truth. Lots have copied his “documentary” styles, though (guest actor voices, etc.).

I keep hearing this about Ken Burns but of the documentaries I've seen of his, they all appear to be done to a high standard and free of political bias. He might be a Leftist in his personal life but I don't detect that in his documentaries.
As for Hemingway, my favorite story of his is "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber" which is about how a cuckolded cowardly man tries to win the love of his wife back with reckless bravery.
