Born in the west of Ireland, Aubrey Malone was educated at University College, Dublin, graduating with a BA in English and philosophy. He followed this with an MA in English, in which he majored in the literary style of Ernest Hemingway. Malone was a teacher for ten years, before becoming a freelance journalist with various newspapers and magazines. He has written over fifty books, including the best-selling 'The Cynic's Dictionary' (Prion). He works predominantly in non-fiction, though he has published two novels and a few collections of poetry and short stories. This is his second biography of Hemingway, his first having been published by Robson Books in 1999.
