The unconsummated love affair of Ernest Hemingway and Marlene Dietrich, in thirty years of previously unpublished letters. She called him “Papa” (everyone did), he called her “The Kraut” (She fled Nazi Germany). They met on a luxury liner in the 1930s and began a correspondence which only ended with his suicide in 1961. She died fifteen years ago; her daughter decided to postpone publication of the letters until now. Dietrich was cinema’s femme fatale and Hemingway was a womanizer. He said they had an “unsynchronised passion”. The star of The Scarlet Empress and the author of For Whom The Bell Tolls never got together. Wait, isn’t that the plot of The Sun Also Rises?
