Since I don't know a lick of Italian I'm using Google translator (with occasional semi-literate embellishment of my own when necessary) to retell the important story of Adriana Ivancich, the young muse who influenced Ernest Hemingway in the last decades of his life, as dictated from her 1980 memoir.
That La Torre Bianca (The White Tower) hasn't already been translated into English—beyond a lack of public demand and copyright issues with the Hemingway estate concerning quoting his letter—since it is important personal scholarship pertaining to an American heavyweight of vast literary interest, is a blot upon Academia's already blemished insular reputation. But I digress with unnecessary words where action is demanded.
For purposes of continuity the blog will be formulated in reverse order with the front cover being the most current post and the obverse the earliest. When I have completed the project I will post the Italian text featured in each post in coherent e-book form.
All blank pages have been omitted.
Feel free to comment with any translation suggestions.
