Breaking Point: Hemingway, DOS Passos, and the Murder of Jose Robles

Russian spies, Spanish fascists, and Hemingway sipping mojitos in Madrid. Somewhere between the genres of biography and historical fiction lies Stephen Koch's new book, The Breaking Point: Hemingway, Dos Passos, and the Murder of Jose Robles. In the midst of the Spanish Civil War, literary and political intrigues surround the lives of two famous authors as they experience a chain of events that will mark them forever. Koch's work provokes some surprisingly profound and pertinent questions: What propaganda does the youth of today champion? What movements are we, as a society, on the verge of that we cannot see? History and biography can be elegantly organized, but the present remains messy.
